Accused Killer of Ruby O Finally Charged
I was so pleased to learn that the man accused of killing trans sex worker Ruby Ordena will finally be charged with murder. Read the story on SFgate here. It’s hard to believe that it was three whole years ago that huge crowd of community activists came together at the 24th & Mission BART stations for a vigil remembrance and a demonstration of outrage at the on-going toll of anti- sex worker violence in our community.
The man accused of killing Ruby appears to have had a obsession with picking up trans sex workers to rape and murder them. I hope there will finally be full justice in Ruby’s case, and that we will all be reminded to take a stand against anti-sex worker violence. Remember Ruby! And let’s work together to end violence against sex workers. Check out and get involved with groups like the Desiree Alliance and SWOP-USA.
Never forget our sisters in sex worker — both the bio gals and trans gals. It’s all one struggle for peace and justice. Peace and love, HoBros! xo BH
