It has been roughly 18 months since three transgender protesters were arrested at separate demonstrations during the summer of 2020 on misdemeanor charges of obstructing traffic and violating curfew.

Today, three transgender people, Gabriela Amaya Cruz, Christian Pallidine, and Ángel Jae Torres Bucci, filed suit in federal court against Miami-Dade County for abuse they suffered while in county custody after being arrested at protests for Black lives in 2020.

Trans Arkansans are in a fight for their lives and their list of supporters keeps growing.
