Authors of The Resistance is amplifying the urgent call for justice for Sabrina de la Peña, a transgender woman in California who has endured six brutal assaults by hateful men who told her they wanted to end her life because she is transgender.

Sabrina’s story is a devastating reminder of the epidemic of violence faced by trans women—especially trans women of color—in the United States. These attacks are not isolated incidents; they are part of a larger pattern of targeted hate, emboldened by transphobia and systemic indifference.

We refuse to let Sabrina’s suffering be silenced or forgotten. Her courage to survive and speak out demands action, accountability, and an end to the violence that threatens trans lives every day.

Sabrina’s life matters. We stand in solidarity with her and all trans people living under threat.

00:00Radio transmission. A message from the AOTR. Say her name, Sabrina de la Peña.
00:06Sabrina de la Peña, the victim of multiple assaults due to being a trans woman,
00:11spoke after one of her previous attacks. De la Peña says the trouble started on April 8,
00:16when the suspect came in and bought water from her small convenience store.
00:20She says he attempted to flirt with her but became angry when she told him to leave.
00:24He then knocked her to the ground. Since, they returned on six separate occasions to
00:29repeatedly assault her, and have been apprehended since her first news interview where she said,
00:34I go back to my space and he pushed me. He pushed me down, on the floor and we start fighting on the
00:39floor, de la Peña said. The suspect eventually ran away, but returned the next day with another man.
00:46In that incident, he started beating her with a skateboard in her own words,
00:49he take me to the alley, out my door. And he beating me, you know. And I got the skateboard,
00:55and I go over, but he left. I think he hate transgender women because he tell me many times.
01:01I'm gonna kill you, she said. De la Peña believes the suspects attacked her because
01:06she is transgender. Her assault marks the severe uptick in attacks on transgender people since
01:11November 2024.
01:25I think so.
01:26I'm in that clinic.
01:26I think it's a lot of discussion.
01:27I'm so excited about it.
01:28I think it's been a great day, but, in the past day, it's about a lot of
01:29things you want to get to, like, make sure you think it's not true in prison.
01:30I think it's not a lot of good.
01:31It's an all-time effect.
01:32I mean, I think it's not a big part of a guy feeling that it's not a big part of a
01:35turn.
01:36Yeah.
01:36It's a big part of a guy with this guy.
01:37Yeah.
01:38I think it's a big part of a guy with this guy.
01:40it's a pretty big part of a guy that he loves you.
01:44I think it's a big part of a guy that, I'm sure in the
01:49a place where he likes doing this guy.
