Hi there,
๐ LaVonnia Moore spent 15 years serving her Pierce County, Georgia, community, including five years as manager of the local library. Last month, she was fired after she put a book on a library display at the request of a child. The book in question? One featuring a trans character.
๐ฏ๏ธ Jewel Thais-Williams, owner of the legendary Los Angeles Black queer disco Jewelโs Catch One and an activist for HIV treatment and other causes, has died at age 86. Rest in power.
๐ฃ As political forces, including the countryโs president, take aim at transgender Americans, two Black trans leaders in Chicago say they are not only resisting โ they are building. The Advocate spoke to Channyn Parker and Precious Brady Davis about changing their community for the better.
๐ California officials say they will not comply with Donald Trumpโs anti-trans order to keep transgender athletes out of K-12 school sports. Bravo, California. ๐๐ฝ
Onward and upward,
Alex Cooper

This week's question: What New York City neighborhood is the Stonewall Inn located?
Last week's question: What branch of the military did gay rights icon Harvey Milk serve in?
Last week's answer: The Navy. Milk, a San Francisco Supervisor and one of the nationโs first openly gay elected officials, was assassinated in 1978 alongside San Francisco Mayor Dan White. Before holding elected office, he served in the Navy from 1951 to 1955. He was dishonorably discharged after questions arose about his sexuality.
