Our Rights DC, the group organizing the “Trans Day of Vengeance” protest outside of the U.S. Supreme Court, announced the event is cancelled due to a “credible threat to life and safety.”
“This action will not be taking place Saturday due to a credible threat to life and safety. The safety of our trans community is first priority. This threat is the direct result of the flood of raw hatred directed toward the trans community after the Tennessee shooting,” the group stated.

“Individuals who had nothing to with that heinous act have been subjected to highly serious threats and blamed only because of their gender identity. This is one of the steps in genocide, and we will continue our efforts to protect trans lives,” the group said.
“While we wholeheartedly believe in the mission and message we put forth for trans day of vengeance, we must prioritize the safety of our community and the people that make it up,” the group added.

“In an ideal world we would have continued on in defiance of the attempt to silence our right to free expression. However, we lack the resources to ensure the safety of the protest and cannot in good conscience move forward with it,” the group said.
“In our continued efforts to preserve trans and non binary life we have notified the appropriate agencies,” the group added.

The Post Millennial noted:
The event, which was originally scheduled for the “Transgender Day of Visibility,” as designated by President Joe Biden, was widely criticized following Monday’s mass shooting in Nashville in which trans-identified 28-year-old Audrey Hale murdered six people, including three children.
Multiple Twitter accounts who reported on “Trans Day of Vengeance” earlier this week faced censorship on the platform.
