Peppermint didn’t mince her words when performing at Rise Up, Sing Out on Sunday, 14 June.
The concert for the First Amendment featured a range of performances taking place at the Town Hall in New York and was designed as a night of song, solidarity and action to celebrate American freedoms.
During the evening, Peppermint took to the stage to remind people that trans rights are human rights. She said, “These attacks on the trans community, they serve as a distraction from the immense hoarding of wealth and resources by billionaires and now trillionaires. A distraction from the failures of this government to protect its people, instead of harming them.”
She continued to say: “These discriminatory attacks on the trans community also distract us from the very lopsided weight of anti-trans violence”.
