"Trans prisoners in the federal system are being rounded up and taken from their housing units, with the understanding they may be rehoused in the wrong unit soon." (www.youtube.com)

Statistically, 58% of trans women that are placed in male units will be raped.

Here's the call to action as to not violate rule 3:

"If you have anybody on the inside, make sure they and their attorneys have copies of all their legal paperwork. You can also spread news of this (but make sure to focus on facts and fighting rumors. I will always do my best to post updates that come directly from the inside either from Kara herself or from counsel.)"

The title and call to action are from the video description, there is more information about this there.

Yes, but given that trump is actively seizing totalitarian control of our government, it could perhaps be argued that any attempt at prison abolition will be a teeny bit more difficult to get traction on than if, say, the country wasn't actively being destroyed around us.
