Report 2019
2019 was a transformative year for AfroResistance. Following our name change from the Latin American and Caribbean Community Center, we reaffirmed our commitment to Black communities across Latin America and the Caribbean and to advancing human rights, democracy, and racial justice throughout the Americas.
Supporting Black
Trans Women in
the Americas
AfroResistance deeply mourns the assassinations of our Trans siblings around the world, and is fully committed to building a world where all Black People, including Trans Women can live with dignity, respect and honor.
“We can't priorite the death of Black men and at the same time, ignore, and even encourage the death of Black Trans women and somehow believe we are going to build a just society for everyone”
– Imara Jones, Founder of Translash

We, at AfroResistance, will continue to take all measures to keep our community sacred and safe. We will not tolerate racist, transphobic, homophobic, sexist assault or abuse, no matter in what form, nor on what platform. Our priority right now is to name, address, and deal with the harm done and to keep our community safe and sacred by whatever means necessary.
