The transgender community is small — yet they face a staggering share of harassment, violence, and political attacks. Too often they are scapegoated by cynical, opportunistic politicians who exploit fear for power. Every person deserves safety, dignity, and peace. May we stand together and work for justice for all communities. | Cory Booker
