Trans Resistance March & Vigil
On June 13, 2020, the day that would have been the 50th Anniversary of Boston Pride, the Trans Resistance March & Vigil brought together thousands of LGBTQ+ activists and allies together in Franklin Park in Dorchester to center and celebrate Black Trans Lives. We raised over $100,000 for the Transgender Emergency Fund’s housing initiative to end trans homelessness in Massachusetts - and the momentum keeps growing!
