Itโ€™s #HumanRightsDay today & our liberties have never been more threatened.

Women, African Americans, Muslims, Latinos, immigrants, LGBTQ people are all under historic stress.

Today weโ€™re focusing on the abuse faced by LGBQT migrants, because itโ€™s horrific. #LGBTQImmigration
LGBTQ migrants face unique horrors: Theyโ€™re not only escaping violence in their home countries (partners killed, family targeted, coercion into sex work, etc) but they continue to be targeted on the route to the US by other migrants & Mexican authorities.

We saw this first-hand.
We walked w/trans women around the complex where migrants were housed in Mexico City.

Men yelled at them, catcalled, whistled.

We rented buses to get them to Tijuana safely & quickly.

They were pulled over by Mexican authorities & detained for hours.
