Courthouse 2 Compton's: Protest for Trans Justice

SF PROTEST FOR TRANS ECONOMIC JUSTICE AND SAFETY
Thursday June 18
7 PM Federal Courthouse, 450 Golden Gate
8 PM Rally at Turk and Taylor
In Coalition With TGJIP, District 6, Stud Collective, and more

*Let's celebrate the recent Supreme Court victory while continuing the fight for trans lives, Black lives, and prison abolition.

We'll march through the Tenderloin from the Courthouse to Turk and Taylor, where trans women fought back against police violence in 1966. The Compton's Cafeteria historic site is now home to an incarceration facility occupied by GEO Group Inc., the world's largest private prison corporation.

OUR DEMANDS:
Liberate the Compton’s Cafeteria Site, currently occupied by GEO Group, the world’s largest private prison corporation

Defund SFPD and re-allocate funds to provide low-income housing in the Compton's Cafeteria site for formerly incarcerated trans people, with priority to BIPOC
