"This June, New York City will celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Stonewall riots: an historic moment when lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) New Yorkers stood up and fought back against police harassment. It is in this spirit that we ? members of New York City?s transgender communities, activists, advocates, and allies ? ask you to support changes in New York City Police Department (NYPD) policies that would improve our safety in interactions with the police. Specifically, we ask that you urge the NYPD to adopt the ?Proposed Policy for the Treatment of Transgender People in NYPD Custody? and the associated changes to the NYPD patrol guide"


Also, please also consider endorsing the Trans Day of Action early - march and rally on June 26th. contact Mya Vazquez at mvazquez@alp.org
