This Rally to Remember, organised by Trans Feminists Unite! on 24 May in Melbourne, was a powerful vigil for those lost to trans community, particularly to trans-misogyny.
Eulogies were mixed with fiery speeches that nailed capitalism as the cause of the femicide. The Freedom Socialist Party, which attended with Radical Women, supported this action. Radical Women was amongst speakers from Iran, Ecuador and Australia, who connected the femicide of women, indigenous, trans and q***r peoples.
Speaking for Radical Women, Debbie Brennan spoke of the legacy of resistance, with trans women of colour at the forefront, which continues to now. RW highlighted the power that a feminist united front could have in building a force capable of beating down the growing far-right reaction — and its revolutionary nature.
We marched from the State Library to the 8 hour monument.
