Particularly within Black communities, we recognize the structural impacts of joblessness, homelessness, trauma, and violence from the state that make Black trans women and Black trans femmes more vulnerable to harm at the hands of Black cisgender men and boys. Problem: The leadership of Black trans women and Black trans femmes requires more culturally affirming institutional support, individual encouragement, and financial sponsorship.

As we aim for abolition of the prison industrial complex, we must first address the anti-Black, anti-poor system of cash bail. We call for the Department of Justice DOJ to release Black trans women and Black trans femmes from custody in any event that they experience physical, mental, and emotional harm and violence while incarcerated.

In order to shift the culture, we must do intra-community work with cisgender allies in Black communities. Strategy: We believe that funders and funding streams can play a fundamental role in supporting work led by Black trans women and Black trans femmes.
