"She was the second transgender person ever to be confirmed by the U.S. Senate."
Millions of Americans are expected to participate in nationwide No Kings demonstrations on June 14, with major events in Washington, D.C., New York City, Los Angeles, Atlanta, and hundreds of smaller cities. Protesters are motivated by concerns about a rapid erosion of democratic norms under President Donald Trump's administration. Shawn G. Skelly, a retired Navy commander and one of the first transgender women confirmed by the Senate, will speak at the Washington event and serves on the Human Rights Campaign board. HRC Chief of Staff Jay Brown will emphasize links between LGBTQ+ equality and democratic integrity. Skelly framed attacks on transgender people as part of a broader strategy to weaken institutions.
