A march will be held Sunday to show support for Dallas' black LGBTQ community after two transgender women were slain in recent weeks.

Chynal Lindsey, 26, of Arlington was found dead in White Rock Lake on June 1, two weeks after 22-year-old Muhlaysia Booker was killed and left on a Far East Dallas Street. Police also announced they are investigating similarities in attacks on two other transgender women in the last year.

"We are under attack," said Carmarion D. Anderson, the executive director of the nonprofit advocacy group Black Transwomen Inc. "We should not be burying a trans individual after burying a friend."

Sunday's demonstration will begin with a 7:30 p.m. rally at the Resource Center at 5750 Cedar Springs Road. The march will pass through the Cedar Springs neighborhood and end with a moment of silence in front of a new mural marking the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots in New York City.

When a friend told Krista De La Rosa about Lindsey's death, she decided to quickly plan the Dallas March for #BlackTransLives with help from the black LGBTQ community.

“This [came out of] a sense of urgency to let the city know we need more resources,” De La Rosa said. “Of course, we’re going to mourn, but we’re also going to stand up for our brothers and sisters who are being slaughtered."

At the march, organizers will share Lyft vouchers for black trans women as part of a partnership between the ride-share firm and the advocacy group Equality Texas, Anderson said. The vouchers will include a Lyft code for a free ride of up $10.

"This is a terrible moment for trans women of color in Dallas," said Samantha Smoot, the executive director of Equality Texas. "This is an effort to provide safe transportation for black trans people during this crisis."

Anderson, who has been organizing in the trans community for over 20 years, said Booker's death was the first trans death to make her fear for her own life.

"I hope this will help ease some of those fears" in the community, she said. "There is a crisis going on, so it's going to take all of us to show up."

De La Rosa said she hopes the march also highlights the strength and unity of the black trans community.

"I want people to understand we're not going to go into hiding or not going to be visible because of who we are," she said.
