Vigil Honoring the Life of Nex Benedict
February 26, 2024As the mother of a transgender teen, I was shocked and saddened by the recent death of Nex Benedict, a 16-year-old non-binary student from Oklahoma who died the day after being beaten in a school bathroom.
Every child, even trans kids, deserve to live free from violence and bigotry. I invite all of you to join me on Wednesday at 6 p.m. on the steps of the Capitol for a vigil honoring the life of Nex Benedict and to support all our trans youth.
