Last week, 20-year-old Amber Czech was murdered by a coworker who told law enforcement he simply did not like her.
This happened during a year where the Trump administration cancelled grants to address gender-based violence in the workplace.

Scoop: The Trump administration has quietly erased trans people, people of color and to some extent, the idea that some groups have more or different difficulties than others from the National Strategy to Support Family Caregivers.
Why? Unclear! They wouldn’t tell me.
