Fighting Back Against Media Smears Of Transgender People

http://transgriot.blogspot.com/2009/04/fighting-back-against-media-smears-of.htmlWe have work to do in terms of getting respectful media coverage for Lateisha Green. The sooner she starts getting it the better chance Teish has of receiving justice.
Remember, potential jurors are being influenced by this drumbeat of disrespectful negative coverage.
First order of business is for you peeps in the Syracuse, NY area to call the local stations and RESPECTFULLY request that the stations follow the AP Stylebook Guidelines for reporting on transgender people. If you're not in the Syracuse area, you can do so as well, but local peeps do have more weight in this instance.
