In New York on Friday, hundreds joined a march organized by NYC Youth for Trans Rights to mark International Transgender Day of Visibility amid intensifying discrimination, violence and anti-trans laws pushed by Republicans. “We are here, we are queer, we’re not going anywhere. … You’re not going to get rid of us,” said Raven, a 17-year-old trans advocate and one of several participants who spoke to Democracy Now! producers Tey-Marie Astudillo and María Taracena about the safe space they were creating.
