Our Rights DC issued a statement asserting that “we lack the resources to ensure the safety of the protest and cannot in good conscience move forward with it.”
“The safety of our trans community is first priority,” the group added, claiming that trans people have been threatened since the shooting.
The group describes the alleged threats to the trans community as “the direct result of the flood of raw hatred directed toward the trans community,” claiming that it is “one of the steps in genocide.”

4/x: In an ideal world we would have continued on in defiance of the attempt to silence our right to free expression. However, we lack the resources to ensure the safety of the protest and cannot in good conscience move forward with it.

5/5: In our continued efforts to preserve trans and non binary life we have notified the appropriate agencies.
