This portrait of fabulous undocumented trans activist Jennicet Eva Gutiérrez was created during Pride 2015, and is the second in the "Liberation For All of Us" series.

Text reads: "No Pride for Some of Us Without Liberation For All of Us. In June 2015, Jennicet Gutiérrez interrupted a White House gay pride event, with a call to end detainment & deportation of LGBTQ immigrants. For 500+ years, gender violence has been a key strategy of European Christian conquest + genocide in the Americas. Today, trans women fleeing violence are denied US asylum, held with men and assaulted, and tortured in solitary. Trans + queer freedom means an end to torture & deportation."
