The Art of Resistance

Facebook | Twitter | Instagram


In December 2019, Julie Berman was murdered in Toronto. A proud trans woman and human rights advocate, she dedicated her life to the fight for trans rights in the city, resisting violence against trans women, and her murder sparked wide-spread outrage in Toronto around escalating violence against trans women.


We’re joined by Aanya Wood and Monica Forrester to discuss the community memorial they organized in Julie’s memory and the struggle to end violence against trans women in the city.


Aanya Wood works with the Board of Directors at Maggie’s Toronto Sex Workers Action Project, Justice for Moka Dawkins and is currently organizing to free Dawna Brown.


Monica Forrester is the Indigenous Coordinator at Maggie’s Toronto and the founder of Trans Pride Toronto- transitioning together.
