Trans people are dying because of lack of access to health care in and out of detention (jail, prison, drug treatment, immigration) and I believe that Sanders will fight harder for more robust health care that will help our communities.

Trans people are disproportionately locked up and suffering inside. I don’t see a world where Biden reduces incarceration and detention at all. In fact his version of trans justice probably includes significant alignment with DA’s and the criminal side of Justice.

Debt. Trans people are un- and underemployed. We have a better chance of getting our educational debt cancelled with Bernie and this will increase our ability to access jobs.

Both men will meet the minimum standards of a Democrat president and end the trans military ban, push for passage of the Equality Act, return to the Obama era norms of executive agency protection. But that isn’t enough.

We need structural changes to expand survival opportunities and I think we have a better chance with Sanders of getting there. And perhaps most vital of all I think Sanders has a better chance of beating Trump, which is absolutely ESSENTIAL.

So I hope you join me in voting for Bernie. I believe it is what our community needs. No matter who wins though I will fight with everything I have for a Democrat nominee because we need to save what is left of the courts. I hope you will too.
