Lord knows what bullshit they arrested her on given that the 1989 Supreme Court decision Texas v Johnson made it 100% Explicitly clear that burning a flag is protected free speech and cannot be a crime.

A trans woman was arrested at Philly Pride for burning a "Blue Lives Matter" flag, and no one is talking about it. All the bougie white Cis gays are out dancing with cops while a trans woman is sitting in jail. Happy fucking pride.

From a friend: "a comrade was arrested for trying to burn a blue lives matter flag, she was spotted with lighter fliud & was tackled. Shes being held @ roundhouse police station in Philadelphia & the number to call to check to see whats happening is 215 686 3304 or 215 686 3305"

unfortunately the trans woman is being held under her deadname and we don't want to share that. So they police will probably say they can't do anything without a name. That said, a bunch of people calling on behalf of "the trans woman arrested at pride" can only help

Does she have a GoFundMe or anything for legal fees? Is there any way we can provide financial support?

is there a gofundme or any way to donate to her friends/family to help get her out?
-
not as of yet ill keep posted
-
What she did was incredibly risky & at an inappropriate moment, but I cant be that guy who just criticizes & gives moral lessons while not helping at all, she could be enduring anything & nothing now that she's in "their" hands… Pls do, pls tell us if there's any possible help…

That flag was created out of hate, PERIOD!
