Rest In Power: Why We Fought to Pass the LGBTQ+ "Panic" Defense Ban in Oregon

TRIGGER WARNING: This video contains a discussion around violence against transgender individuals. We acknowledge this may not be easy. We encourage you to take care of yourself and your well-being. Earlier this year, Oregon joined the small list of states that bans the use of the LGBTQ+ "panic" defense, a legal strategy that asks a jury to find that a victim's sexual orientation or gender identity/expression is to blame for a defendant's violent reaction, including murder. When someone uses an LGBTQ+ "panic" defense, they claim that a victim's sexual orientation or gender identity not only explains but also excuses a loss of self-control and subsequent assault. The stories shared in this video are of two local trans women who lost their lives to violence. They are the reason we needed this ban.
