CHARLOTTE, N.C. LGBTQ+ community organizations announced in a news conference on Wednesday that they would come together to commit $10,000 to immediately support the emergency relief needs of Black transgender women in Charlotte.
Officials say this commitment comes after the two local murders of Black trans women, Jaida Peterson and Remy Fennell, that further highlighted Charlotte’s status as one of the nation’s deadliest cities for transgender and gender-nonconforming people.
Officials with the Campaign for Southern Equality, Charlotte Pride, Equality N.C., and Transcend Charlotte came together to provide the $10,000 to support housing, food, and other emergency needs in light of the recent tragedies.
