This is a call to action for protection, visibility, and justice.

The day grew from the mourning of trans women like Rita Hester, whose death in 1998 sparked a movement to name and remember.

When was the last time you saw a Black teen love story that didn’t end in trauma? When did we stop believing our kids deserved romance, joy, and emotional education?

Let’s bring it back, for them and for us, and for the generations still learning how to hold each other softly.

Netflix’s Forever gave us an increasingly rare, soft look at Black teen love in the modern world. It was awkward, affirming, and quietly profound. Where have our stories gone? Young people are growing up with endless content, but no space to actually feel it out for themselves.

So the next time we talk about reproductive justice, contraception, or medical equity, remember:
Our ancestors were messy, but also masterful.

Huge shoutout to @ourancestorsweremessy for an amazing podcast! Y'all tune in for a mix of history, mess, and comedy.

What I want to focus on is how connected our movements should be to our lives. There should be no single issue orgs seeing as we don't live single issue lives.

Now more than ever our movements need to be collaborating to meet the needs of our communities because our struggles are connected.
