Ending LGBTQ+ Violence With Eliel Cruz

August 19, 2020
From Eric Cervini- "Have you heard about the epidemic plaguing the LGBTQ+ community in America? And no, I’m not talking about HIV/AIDS or COVID-19; I’m talking about violence faced by Black trans women.

A few days ago, I sat down with Eliel Cruz (@theelielcruz), Director of Communications for New York City Anti-Violence Project (@antiviolence), to talk about his life, activism, and how we can use our resources to fight for the most threatened members of our community.

Don't forget to support Eliel and @antiviolence by donating to AVP!"
