TRANS MARCH
June 30 2026

Members of the public verbally confronted Senator Scott Wiener about his policies in Dolores Park on Friday at the Trans March. Our safety team takes the safety and wellbeing of our participants very seriously.
Scott Wiener was at no point in danger.
Historically, the public has expressed their opinions to politicians at Trans March, as is their right.
In fact, Trans March has not featured politicians in our programming as a matter of policy since 2016, when Scott Wiener himself was criticized over housing, homelessness, and development issues; including supporting market-rate housing policies, opposing some tenant-backed measures, and receiving significant support from real estate interests. Trans March participants holding politicians accountable is nothing new.
Immediately following the incident, instead of engaging Trans March directly to resolve his concerns, Senator Scott Wiener's campaign went to social media and used the confrontation in fundraising communications. We are particularly disappointed that, while Senator Wiener continues to amplify this incident from Friday in national press interviews, he has failed to address the harm and disproportionate response from SFPD inflicted upon transgender people, children, families, and their allies on Friday night.
The role of Trans March and the greater movement for trans liberation is to focus on the material conditions affecting transgender people.
Across the country, transgender people are facing an unprecedented wave of legislative and legal attacks on our rights and our humanity.
Most recently, the Supreme Court allowed restrictions on transgender women participating in women's sports to stand, marking another setback that will have real consequences for transgender youth and adults alike

Yes but his most recent statements indicate he'd rather blame leftists and human rights campaigners for demanding the end to the genocide and holding politicians accountable than he wants to blame Israel and ostracize it for actually committing genocide.

1/3 Politicians have been getting boo’d out of the Trans March for well over a decade. I wrote this letter to @mission 10 years ago when Scott Weiner, Mayor Ed Lee, and by association, State Senator Mark Leno were boo’d off stage for their policies against houseless people and alliances with

Rep. Morrison on conditions at Whipple: "She said, 'they are treating us like animals in here. The women that are in this cell with me, we slept on a cold concrete floor last night. We were begging for a blanket, & guards were cruel'... we have to resolve that every single person deserves dignity"

Pretty stark look at the devastation that the GOP's murderbill will inflict on New Mexico, the only possible "wins" on the cover are RECA renewal and border security expansion, the latter of which should be seen as not a triumph of law but a threat to democracy.
