The community came together Sunday to support two transgender women who say they were attacked near a light rail station in Minneapolis.

The incident happened Nov. 10 at Hennepin Avenue and Fifth Street in downtown Minneapolis. It’s where community members gathered for a rally Sunday afternoon, one week since the attack.

Amber Muhm, a community leader with Trans Movement for Liberation, said the two trans women were attacked by a group of men at the light rail station after one of the men used transphobic slurs.

“No one came to help them. In fact, they said people were cheering the attackers on while they were getting beaten,” Muhm said.

    Hate crimes went up 20% during Trump’s last term. I suspect the bigots will be even bolder this round.

    Stay safe comrades.

        And they likely imagine Trump will pardon them. And that Trump supporting police won’t investigate, which is hopefully not what’s happening here. Though I fear it is.
