  • Summary

  • During today’s Office Hours, we address the critical issue of hate crimes against Black queer men and Black trans women.On October 17, 2024, Daqua Lameek Ritter was sentenced to life in prison for the murder of Dime Doe, a Black transgender woman. This landmark case is the first guilty verdict under the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act aimed at protecting transgender people.

    Dime Doe’s story highlights the disproportionate violence faced by Black Queer communities. As we recognize Transgender Day of Remembrance on November 20, let’s honor those lost to hate and work towards a future where everyone can live safely and freely.
