Duanna Johnson is the third African American transgender woman to be murdered in Memphis in as many years. Her brutal murder is both shocking and tragic.

The Tennessee Transgender Political Coalition has set up a donate button on its website for those who would like to help defray the costs of the funeral expenses.

All donations of any amount are greatly appreciated. All funds collected will be paid directly to N.J. Ford and Sons Funeral Home, 12 S Parkway W, Memphis, TN. Any funds collected over and above the goal of $1195 will be given to Ms. Johnson’s family.

For more information, please visit the Tennessee Transgender Political Coalition website.

November 4th was a bitter-sweet celebration. We came together to witness the first black man who will become our president, yet watched in sadness as Florida, Arizona, Arkansas, and California all voted down equal rights for all citizens.

GLBT and their allies will demostrate in nearly every major city around the country on Saturday at 1:30 pm EST.  Stand with your fellow brothers in sisters in solidarity against the ever increasing oppression from intolerance.

Knoxville will participate in this rally at World’s Fair Park.  Please be there by 1:15 pm.  For more information or contacts please the the Knoxville Join the Impact! page,  Join the Impact!
