#LivesAtStake: A Conversation Between Black Straight Men & Black Trans Women:
Why are some Black cisgender straight men openly hostile to Black trans women? #TransLash hosts this timely & necessary conversation. The animosity and angst that many Black, cisgender heterosexual men have can ultimately end in violence against Black trans women. In fact, violence against Black trans women remains at historic highs. With at least 20 deaths of Black Trans Women since the beginning of the year, save the date for this important and groundbreaking live broadcast from the TransLash Facebook page on October 4, 2019, from 6PM-6:30PM EST.

#TransLash founder Imara Jones, activist Nala Simone, Randolph Davidson, and Justin Freeman will have an honest conversation with the end goal of creating more understand and empathy between Black Straight Men & Black Trans Women. Join the conversation and share your questions and feedback during the live broadcast. Everyone is welcome to participate, with the understanding that we will center the voices of Black Trans Women.
