Much has happened in the last two years, locally and globally. The journey toward freedom can be marked by great acts of solidarity, grief, defiance, and rebellion. Encouraged by our community’s commitment to care and the radical legacies we walk in, we have come this far because we never walked alone.
Your collective efforts and generosity have given us the ability to pay off our restitution. And your widespread and consistent letter writing has meant that Pep has not gone a day without company. We offer our deepest gratitude and reflect back the strength of your collective power, Thank You!
As we recognize this marker in time, we ask that you show solidarity by extending our work and writing a letter to Jaia Cruz , the 24-year–old transgender woman convicted of first degree manslaughter after defending herself against a transphobic attack in a Harlem deli. She is currently serving a 15 year sentence in the New York State prison system. Letters can be sent to:
Jaia Cruz #25G0353
Bedford Hills Correctional Facility
247 Harris Road
Bedford Hills, NY 10507-2400
As well as donating to Queer Fight Club PGH. The struggle for trans liberation and the celebration of trans lives continues.
Toward the possibility of communal life and total emancipation,
Pep & Krystal
