by 2022 has seen a massive onslaught of anti-trans legislation across the country. In response, on March 31st—Transgender Day of Visibility — Portland DSA organized a rally and march in coordination with community organizations and labor activists to demand housing, gender-affirming healthcare, and an end to discrimination on the job, at school, and in our communities.
This is the speech given by Spencer Mann, one of the core organizers of the event. Spencer (they/them) is on the Portland DSA Steering Committee, the Co-chair of Reed College YDSA, and a member of the Reform & Revolution caucus.
