Last year, The HRC (Human Rights Campaign), reported that in 2019 alone, at least 26 trans and gender nonconforming people were killed in the United States alone. Disproportionately, Black trans people were the victims. Those I have illustrated here, do not even scratch the surface of what is, and should be recognised as, an epidemic. Now, more than ever, it is crucial that we do whatever we can to support the black trans community.

JUSTICE FOR TONY MCDADE
as much as i love bon appetit i am not going to watch another video of them until rapoport is fired and all the editors of colour are properly compensated for their work and i encourage everyone else to do the same. ba has a huge amount of fans on tumblr and we bring a lot of revenue for them through yt so it’s vital that we take a stand with this
the test kitchen staff (Molly, Carla, Brad, Claire, Andy, Chris) have all said that won’t be filming any new content (they wouldn’t have control over anything already recorded) until their coworkers of colour are compensated
It’s still important to boycott the upcoming pre-recorded videos to show our support
