Police Violence

Marsha and Sylvia were fearless activists as they are shown standing at the frontlines of the police and proudly proclaiming their rights as transwomen. They are a timeless representation of hope and freedom for these people and continue to act as a symbol of unity in this community. In a time where police would harass those who didn’t follow sexual norms, Marsha and Sylvia show the strength of this movement and change that they advocated for.
