Trans Day of Action 2008

http://www.gaycenter.org/gip - The 4th New York City Trans Day of Action for Social & Economic Justice started at City Hall Park and marched through Wall Street to the South Street Seaport. The Audre Lorde Project and Trans Justice organized the event (www.alp.org): TGNC People of Color (POC) recognize the importance of working together alongside other movements to change the world we want to see. We live in a time when people of color, immigrants and poor people are disproportionately underserved, face higher levels of discrimination, heightened surveillance and experience increased violence at the hands of the state. The march spoke out about dismantling the transphobia, racism, classism, sexism, ageism, ableism, homophobia and xenophobia that permeates throughout our movements for social justice. Here are highlights from the eventFrom http://www.gaycenter.org/gip The 4th New York City Trans Day of Action for Social & Economic Justice started at City Hall Park and marched through Wall Street to the South Street Seaport.
