Black transgender women in particular have been targeted by these heinous crimes, which have continued on into 2020.
At least 15 transgender or gender-nonconforming people have already been killed in the first six months of the year, the HRC reported.
The most recent trans women to be killed are Riah Milton of Liberty Township, Ohio, and Dominique "Rem'mie" Fells of Philadelphia, who were killed within 24 hours of each other earlier this month, USA Today reported.
The fight for Black trans lives is a crucial component of the fight for Black liberation.
