Transgender community leaders and LGBTQ activists announced that they plan to hold a rally protesting violence against transgender and gender nonconforming people Tuesday afternoon in Boyle Heights.
The rally is scheduled for 5 p.m. in the Mariachi Plaza at East 1st Street and North Boyle Avenue and will include members of the TransLatin Coalition and Familia: Trans and Queer Liberation Movement, among other groups.
Demonstrators will call for an investigation into the death of Tamara Dominguez, a transgender woman who was repeatedly run over by a car in a church parking lot in Kansas City, Mo.
