🌹We are grieving #DrayaMcCarty of Hammond, Loui

🌹We are grieving #DrayaMcCarty of Hammond, Louisiana today, whom Louisiana Trans Advocates reported was found dead in Baton Rouge in late June, 2020. An exact death date is not yet known. WWL-TV in New Orleans reported that McCarty’s death has not yet been ruled a homicide, and Baton Rouge police officials have not yet released any information about her death.
.
.
🌹The murders of Black trans women Draya and #ShakiPeters are the 19th and 20th reported murders of trans people in the U.S. since the beginning of 2020, however the numbers are likely significantly higher given the frequent rate of such murders going unreported or misreported.
.
.
🌹Were it not for the advocacy of the family members of both Shaki and Draya, Louisiana Trans Advocates would not have learned of these two murders at all.
.
.
🌹The Human Rights Campaign @humanrightscampaign reports that there have been at least 21 transgender or nonbinary people killed in the U.S. in 2020, including Summer Taylor, a Black Lives Matter protester who was struck and killed by a driver July 4 during a demonstration in Seattle.
.
.
🌹Draya McCarty deserves justice. We don’t yet know her age, detailed background, or progress with her case. Stay tuned for updates. #SayHerName #DrayaMcCarty #BlackTransLivesMatter

This person thinks it’s funny to laugh at Black trans women being murdered. This reaction from cisgender men that we at #TransLash are exposed to every day is part of the reason why Black trans women’s lives aren’t valued or protected. When cisgender men dehumanize trans women of color in these ways, they become handmaidens to white supremacy and the patriarchy. 💯 #BlackTransLivesMatter
.
.
According to a study by the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, in the Americas, trans women of color have a life expectancy of 30-35 years of age. In the United States, cisgender people have a life expectancy of around 78. Bree was 27. Follow & support @houseoftulipno to fulfill the dream of safe and restorative housing for trans people in the Gulf South.

🌹Tatiana Hall, 22, a Black trans woman, was murdered in Irvington, N.J., on or near June 30. Very little has been reported on her death.

According to a study by the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, in the Americas, trans women of color have a life expectancy of 30-35 years of age. In the United States, cisgender people have a life expectancy of around 78. Tatiana was only 22.
.
.
We wish we had more to share about Tatiana’s life & the investigation into her death, but all we can offer at this time is our love and our grief. Stay tuned for updates. #SayHerName #TatianaHall #BlackTransLivesMatter

🌹#BreeBlack, a 27-year-old Black transgender woman, was killed in Pompano Beach, Florida, on July 3 of an apparent gunshot wound. Her death is believed to be at least the 20th known violent death of a transgender or gender non-conforming person this year in the U.S., followed by the 21st death, that of #SummerTaylor. Black’s killer is still at large and the Broward County sheriff’s office is appealing for anyone with information to come forward. Anyone with information on Black’s killing is urged to contact Detective Louis Bonhomme on 954-321-4377 or Broward Crime Stoppers on 954-493-8477.
.
.Since @humanrightscampaign began tracking this data in 2013, advocates have never seen such a high number at this point in the year. 10% of all deaths occurred in Florida and another 10% of all deaths have occurred in Texas, the states with the highest counts nationwide.
.
.
🌹On a Sunday afternoon, Black Lives Matter Alliance Broward created an altar and hosted a gathering to remember Bree. Around 25 people gathered with flowers and candles to remember her, and protestors marched to Pompano Beach City Hall after the gathering while chanting “No Justice, No Peace.” “We want some immediate answers to what’s going on and we want this investigation to be done with full integrity,” Tifanny Burks, an organizer with Black Lives Matter Alliance Broward, said according to the Miami Herald. “We want to get connected to her family. We want to get connected with her friends because we don’t want this one altar, this one event to be the end.”

🌹#ShakiPeters, a 32-year-old Black transgender woman, was killed on July 1 in Amite City, Louisiana. Her death is believed to be at least the 19th known violent death of a transgender or gender non-conforming person this year in the U.S. Her death was followed by the 20th and 21st deaths, those of #BreeBlack and #SummerTaylor. Since @humanrightscampaign began tracking this data in 2013, advocates have never seen such a high number at this point in the year.
.
.🌹Natalie Nia Faulk, a friend of Shaki who is also a Black trans woman, called her a “very independent person and very loyal to her friends,” and said she was “full of laughter and an abundance of life.”🌹
