For the sake of transparency: Yesterday at the beginning of the Pride parade, a trans woman was arrested at 12th and locust for attempting to light a flag on fire. She was held at the Roundhouse then transferred to CFCF (a men’s prison) this morning after being charged with arson, causing/risking a catastrophe and other misdemeanors. This afternoon, I joined her father and 2 community organizers at CJC to help post her bail. She has just been released from CFCF. I will give more updates when possible.

    What kind of flag? I've seen conflicting reports about whether or not it was a "Blue Lives Matter" flag or not

    Disagree with putting her in a male jail, but do believe that arresting her was justified. Don’t light a fire in the middle of a crowd.

    There was also an arrest at the entrance. The hateful bigot group that I counter protest often were camped outside. They target our young lgbtq to incite them. She should be given leniency. I witnessed it.
