Cory Booker lamented during the Democratic debate that African American trans Americans are not included enough on the conversation of civil rights.

“Look, civil rights is someplace to begin, but in the African American civil right community, another place to focus was to stop the lynching of African Americans. We do not talk enough about trans Americans, especially African American trans Americans and the incredibility high rates of murder now,” the New Jersey senator said.
