The “Trans Day of Vengeance” protest set to take place in Washington, D.C., has been canceled in the aftermath of the Nashville school shooting.
Our Rights DC, the activist collective behind the event, announced Thursday that the April 1 protest would not be taking place due to safety concerns.
“This action will not be taking place Saturday due to a credible threat to life and safety,” the organization wrote on social media. “The safety of our trans community is first priority. This threat is the direct result of the flood of raw hatred directed toward the trans community after the Tennessee shooting.”
