A transgender activist was detained by San Diego Police (SDPD) Saturday, July 7 at a downtown protest against the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP), a proposed free trade compact many have likened to NAFTA. according to activists.

Several other protestors were detained at the march and later let go, according to a press release issued by Canvass for a Cause (CFAC). The protest was reportedly peaceful and consisted of about 250 people. The only protester detained was a transgender Canvass for a Cause organizer.
