BTAC, Lyft partner to offer free rides for trans people

Transgender men and women — and especially Black trans women and trans women of color — remain a target for hate. At least 44 trans men and women died violently in 2020, and at least 11 have already died in 2021.

Now the Black Transgender Advocacy Coalition is offering a way to help trans individuals stay safer by partnering with Lyft to provide free ride credit up to $50 to those in 600 cities in the U.S. Those cities now include Dallas, Atlanta, Cleveland, Kansas City, New Orleans and Philadelphia.

According to a press release announce the initiative, “BTAC prioritizes the needs of the black transgender community by working to ensure that you have access to safe and affordable transportation options.

“All you have to do is submit your request here.”

Allow 24-48 hours for your inquiry to process.

That’s it, looks like I’m deleting the Lyft app. Why the heck should they support trans people over other app users. 90% of the crime against trans people are trans selling themselves for sex and putting them in situations to have crime la of violence against them. This madness needs to stop god created two genders for a reason that are not meant to be interchangeable

Shows how knowledgeable you are my friend. Because GOD created GENDER for the 3D world we all live in. But GOD isn’t worried nor does he place judgement on individuals for the choice of there gender. Why? Because SPIRIT that thing you feel that Is ALL YOU the true essence of your soul. Your spirit when not in human form is NEITHER Male or Female. Our spirit has NO GENDER. It’s both masculine and feminine. Hopefully that will help you out a bit. Have a great day. And lighten up. Lol for someone who doesn’t agree with others life choices you sure are investigating alot of your energy into being involved in it. Just saying.

That is a great news for trans people. The lgbtq community are always discriminatory by others. We need to provide more jobs for trans to support life, that will reduce the sex violence. Most people are under risk as the covid-19.
