Cheesy and Tired<p>Hey there. I have an update on Ashley Diamond, a Black trans woman, survivor, and activist. She has the opportunity to travel out of the especially trans-hostile state she's currently residing in, for a safe and affirming shelter situation. She's currently unhoused and unsheltered, and has been assaulted several times in the past couple of months alone, which compounds the already traumatic experiences she suffered in prison. </p><p>She is in need of $130 for her train and transportation costs (she had a train ticket for earlier this week and unfortunately, due to circumstances outside of her control, was unable to leave at that time but got the ticket turned into a voucher), and at least $20 for food on the way. </p><p>Please give to her directly via CashApp if possible. The other crowdfunding links that may be floating around are not 100% going into Ashley's pocket, but the CashApp does. </p><p>CashApp: $Protagonist1017</p><p>More about Ashley from linked article below: "Diamond was first arrested and charged with burglary in 2012 for trying to pawn a saw that had been stolen by her then-boyfriend, for which she received a 12 year sentence, Xtra reports. Although Diamond was released in 2015, she was reincarcerated in 2019 on a technical parole violation; she visited a gender-affirming mental health treatment facility in Florida, outside of the state of Georgia, which she was not allowed to leave. Since her arrest, she has been in and out of Georgia’s carceral system, where she was forced to reside in a men’s prison." </p><p><a href="https://www.them.us/story/ashley-diamond-trans-prisoner-released-parole-advocacy" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">them.us/story/ashley-diamond-t</span><span class="invisible">rans-prisoner-released-parole-advocacy</span></a></p><p>Please share, boost, and thanks to those who have helped by giving or boosting so far.
