The trans community gathered in the historic Compton's Tenderloin Cultural District to protest against current government attacks, celebrating their identity and unity. The gathering, held at the iconically significant Compton's Cafeteria, featured impassioned speeches honoring murdered trans individuals. Recent historic designations recognize Compton's as the first U.S. site pivotal to the transgender movement. The event provided essential visibility for the trans community amidst rising far-right rhetoric, while also promoting the Tenderloin Museum's revitalization and commitment to amplifying trans voices in their expanded programs.
During a weekend full of protests, the trans community came out in full force to the historic Compton's Tenderloin Cultural District in a show of resistance and unity against ongoing attacks by the current administration.
The event provided much needed visibility to a community that the far right has made it their mission to try to erase. Compton's recent historic designations make it the first historic site in the US recognized for its role in the transgender movement.
