Tony McDade was a black transgender man who was fatally shot by Tallahassee police last week. After being savagely beaten by five cisgender men, he sought out justice, and knowing the police would not be on his side, he took matters into his own hands. After stabbing one of his attackers, Tony was shot by an unnamed Tallahassee police officer. Tony was misgendered by Tallahassee police, and police also claim his murder was not racially motivated. We all must contact the TPD demanding the names of the officers involved be released their number is 850-891-4200. We must also contact the Florida State Attorney at 407-8362400 and the Tallahassee mayor at 850-891-2000, demanding the officers involved be placed on trial and receive the sentencing they deserve. By signing this petition you agree that you are outraged by Tony’s untimely death, and you agree with the aforementioned actions. We must find justice for Tony, and every black life that has been lost.

I have been spending my nights reading the stories of people who are just as heartbroken as I am over what happened to Tony. This fight is far from over because the system refuses to provide the accountability we deserve.

Seeing this level of support for Tony brings me back to the moment I first learned what happened to him and feeling like the world had turned its back on his memory. This momentum proves that we refuse to let his name be erased by the very people who were supposed to protect him. We have the attention of the city now so let us keep the pressure on until there is real accountability.

All lives matter. The revolution is on the way, we will liberate and help the unheard speak freely! We are united as one, trans equality is important! Equality for all! Justice for all!
Black trans lives matter! Let’s bring justice to Tony McDade, a wonderful man who should be alive today and ensure the safety of Black trans people by holding those responsible accountable.
RIP Tony. Unacceptable.
TPD needs to answer for this. They cant just misgender him and expect us to go away. We see you.
How many more black trans men have to die before something actually changes? This is so heartbreaking and disgusting. Justice for Tony now!
I'm signing this petition in agreeing on above statement.
WE WILL NOT STOP UNTIL THERE IS JUSTICE FOR TONY!!!

Trans people, like all people, deserve respect, freedom, protection and respect. We cannot fight for some in our society. We have to fight for all.
