With the #FreeMarichuy and #FreeNicoll campaigns, more attention is being paid to issues around immigration, mass incarceration, and violence against transgender folks. In this strategy session, we will be discussing the violence facing the transgender community, specifically transgender womyn, who have been caught up in the for-profit detention industrial complex.
