Protesters gathered in the dozens in Portland to demand justice for Tete Gulley, a black trans woman found hanging from a tree on 27 May 2019. Protesters listened to speeches before marching on 82nd Avenue, and then dispersing, with many prominent activists present in the demonstration including Demetria Hester.
Police framed her death as a suicide, but many friends and family state that he had never had any such intentions, alongside a video that appears to depict her murder occurring; despite these events, as well as witnesses to a murder, the PPB closed the case.
