The “Trans Day of Vengeance” protest scheduled for Washington, D.C., for Saturday has been canceled by organizers, who cited a “threat to life and safety.”
Our Rights DC, the co-organizer of the event, issued a Twitter thread announcing the cancellation. The event was to take place at the U.S. Supreme Court.
“This action will not be taking place Saturday due to a credible threat to life and safety,” the organization tweeted. “The safety of our trans community is first priority. This threat is the direct result of the flood of raw hatred directed toward the trans community after the Tennessee shooting.”
