National Organizations Join Equality Florida In Demanding Urgent Action
SARASOTA -- Equality Florida issued a call to action following the murder of Londonn Moore, the fifth Black transgender woman murdered in the state in a little over six months.
Nadine Smith, Executive Director, released the following statement on the recent murder of Londonn Moore:
Once again, we are mourning the tragic murder of a black transgender woman in Florida. Londonn Moore, a 20-year-old, was shot and her body left in a secluded area in North Port earlier this week.
Powerful words from our Deputy Director Stratton Pollitzer on the two-year remembrance of Pulse:
On June 12, 2016, the Orlando community was rocked by the massacre that claimed the lives of 49 people. The horror unfolded in the middle of Pride month on Latin Night at Pulse Nightclub, a popular gathering place for young LGBTQ people of color.
Today, as we remember those taken from us, we also renew our calls to #HonorThemWithAction - and I challenge you to join us.
Our Fund and Equality Florida invite you to join national LGBTQ leaders to discuss the future of the equality movement, regardless of the election outcome. While we will miss being with you in person this year, we are pleased that the event will be made available to a wider audience.
