Transgender Law Center joined the ACLU and ACLU of Arizona, Lambda Legal, the Legal Aid Society, and Urban Justice Center in submitting an amicus brief calling for the reversal of Monica Jones’s conviction. The ACLU was lead counsel on the brief. As you may recall, Monica was convicted of “manifesting an intent to commit… prostitution” in April. “Manifesting” laws criminalize everyday activities such as waving at someone in a car or talking to friends on the sidewalk, and are frequently used to target trans women of color around the country simply for “walking while trans.”

When she reported the abuse to the staff of the for-profit facility, they allegedly responded by asking her to sign a statement claiming that she had consented.
