LGBTQ+ people face an incarceration rate that is roughly three times higher than the general incarceration rate, according to data compiled by the Williams Institute. And the 2015 U.S. Transgender Survey reported that Black transgender women were incarcerated approximately at a rate ten times that of the general population. In the latest episode of #AuthenticVoicesOfPride presented by Chevy, LGBTQ Nation follows Dominique Morgan, the Executive Director of Black and Pink National. She knows these issues on a personal level – and that’s why she’s fighting for her community.
Senior Attorney at Lambda Legal Richard Saenz joins the conversation to discuss how LGBTQ+ people living with HIV are impacted by the justice system
Chevrolet is matching donations to Lambda Legal up to $25,000. For almost 50 years, Lambda Legal has been a major force in affecting social change through our public policy and impact litigation work on behalf of the LGBTQ community and everyone living with HIV. We are winning new protections for the most vulnerable in our community including people of color, people living with HIV, seniors, trans/GNC people, and youth. We are defending our community from attacks designed to roll back our rights.
