SCRANTON, Pa. — People were speaking out for equal rights at an event sponsored by Creating Change FTP in Scranton Sunday.
Like other Black Lives Matter rallies, people turned out to raise their voices to support people of color, specifically black transgender people who have been victims of hate because of their skin color and their sexuality.
"Seeing people continuing to come out and speak out is so important, as a person who continues to come out and speak out because we know that every voice matters and when they all unify it's for a greater purpose," said Amanda DeMafi from Honesdale.
Dozens of people made and carried signs at Courthouse Square in Scranton for the rally.
