Today a video of Tyre Nichols’ murder will be released. Do not share it. Do not traumatize our people further by putting it in front of us. We feel the overwhelming rage and grief without subjecting ourselves to a video of his life being taken. To protect yourself online: ⬇️

Interrupting Criminalization

A reminder to journalists and everyone else that police lie, all the time. Repeating or parroting police narratives is dangerous. Please read our resource Don't Be A Copagandist, which aims to help journos and media disrupt copaganda and tell the facts: bit.ly/NoCopaganda

In the center, large bold text: "Don't Be A Copagandist!" with smaller text below: "A resource for Media on Covering 'Crime' and Violence." Above this is a line drawing of a cop, encircled in red with a slash mark across the middle.

At the very bottom, a thin red line with small text below: "Compiled by Mia Henry, Lewis Raven Wallace, and Andrea J. Ritchie with research from No More Police: A Case for Abolition."

The background is light tan, with two right-angled red triangles in the top left/right corners, meeting in the center.

[8/8] “With so many seeking to erase transgender people -- sometimes in the most brutal ways possible -- it is vitally important that those we lose are remembered, and that we continue to fight for justice." – Transgender Day of Remembrance founder Gwendolyn Ann Smith

[7/8] "Transgender Day of Remembrance seeks to highlight the losses we face due to anti-transgender bigotry and violence. I am no stranger to the need to fight for our rights, and the right to simply exist is first and foremost.

[6/8] ….Monica Roberts, Marsha P. Johnson, Alexander John Goodrum, Tiffany Banks, Semaj Billingslea, Nedra Sequence Morris, Dede Ricks and so many more.

[5/8] ….fully holds, loves and honors the divinity in and dignity of all every one of us, while also lifting up the memories of the ones who did not make it this far. We love and miss you, Pauli Murray, Dr. Marisa Richmond, Sylvester, Crystal LaBeija….

[4/8] Trans people continue to be erased, experience violence, and be pushed aside and away from society, while the contributions of Trans people are co-opted and capitalized upon. On this day and every day, we must push forward towards a world that…

[3/8] According to HRC’s annual report, this year, at least 32 Trans and gender-nonconforming people have been murdered; 81% were people of color, and 59% were Black. Trans women were disproportionately represented, making up 81% of the deaths recorded at the time of publication.

[2/8] Trans Day of Remembrance was founded in 1999 to memorialize the life of Rita Hester, a Black Trans woman who lived in Massachusetts, and was last seen alive at a neighborhood club and died in mid-November 1998.

[1/8] It is once again Trans Day of Remembrance, and today we remember and honor the lives of Trans and gender-diverse people who we have lost over the last year, particularly to state and transphobic violence.

Reforms are ineffective and insufficient. The only way to reduce police violence is to reduce the size, scope, and role of police departments. #FundOurCommunities #InvestInUs Join us at the public hearings! More info here --> bit.ly/MinneapolisPeo
