Monday night's efforts were organized by the Trans Empowerment Coalition, Equality Texas, Asian Pacific Islander American Public Affairs, Dallas Asian American Historical Society, Dallas Social Queer Organization, Carrollton Pride, Dallas Radical Fairies and the Dallas Anti-War Committee. This board meeting was a “work session,” as opposed to the typical board meeting where public comments are more commonly received.
“I did that because I did not want them to silence us,” she said. “We did everything by the rules. We found an agenda item that we could comment on, and they still tried to silence us. I said, no, we’re not going to be silenced, I will be interrupting this meeting and they will hear from us, they will know that they should not stand with hate, most importantly.
