Black Trans Activist Must Pay $1,000 for Possession of THC (Cannabis-derived) Oil.

UPDATE ON CASE: I went in front of the judge for my sentencing and he agreed to the plea deal laid out by the D.A. I have to complete a 12 step program, twice a week before January and pass a drug evaluation test. In addition to $1,000 fine, 200 hours community service, and a complete waiver of my 4th amendment rights (cops have the ability to search my car, person, and home w/o probable cause). I am mandated to serve 7 years on probation with a 3 year good behavior incentive. As of now, I cannot vote, receive financial aid, government assistance, or own a firearm.

Currently looking for a decent 12 step program/ NA group near the West Wnd area. If anyone has any leads, comment or DM me. Also, if anyone know where I can get assistance with the $1,000 fine please contact me. 🙏🏾✨

Thank you to everyone for you continued support!!

Black Trans Activist: Felon to Fitness Trainer

It’s been a challenging and difficult year. After my arrest in March, I was unable to find work because of my background. I was working a night job from 11pm - 8am doing stocking at a Walmart in Woodstock and driving for Uber and Lyft during the day. The day after the arrest, I lost my job at Walmart and few days later Uber and Lyft sent me an email, stating that I could not work for them due to my criminal background. The stress and lack of healthcare caused my health to deteriorate and my Multiple Sclerosis (MS) began to worsen. Without any support for the system, I had to learn how to heal my body without assistance from doctors or meds. I focused my energy on changing my eating and training my body. My personal journey to become healthier, led me to personal training. I began studying and enrolled in a course to become certified in nutrition coaching and personal training. A course that was provided for free by the incredible folks at the Center of Refuge. I completed the course at graudated at the top of my class. Now I’m the head trainer at Planet Fitness and certified personal trainer.

Looking for a trainer who is apart of the LGBTQIA community, knowledgeable, certified, and gets results, DM me. I will get you LIT 🔥& make you DRIP! 💧 I provide help with learning how to structure your meals for more a healthy and balanced diet. I work with weight loss, hypertrophy (muscle growth). Whether you want to shred, bulk, lose weight, or simply move better, I got you!

I’ve worked with all types of clients but I’m most passionate about being able to provide affordable training to Queer and Trans folks, like myself. It is my mission to train each person to be their own trainer. I don’t just train, I educate and inform, and provide you with the tools needs to reach your fitness goals for life, not just the moment. Rates are affordable. I’m based in Atlanta, but online coaching is available. If you’re ready to change your life, DM me or leave a comment.

PROTECT BLACK TRANS LIVES! 🚨 BOOST, SHARE, & DONATE! ‼️

WE ARE LESS THAN $1,000 from our GOAL! BIG THANKS to EVERYONE, who has shared and/or donated to DEAN’S DEFENSE!

WHAT HAPPENED:

Our comrade, activist, and friend Dean is in need your immediate support. Dean is currently facing a mandatory minimum of 1 - 10 years in prison. On March 22, Dean was stopped by two white officers for a broken tail light. Dean was instructed to exit the vehicle. The officer’s proceeded to search the car and Dean was arrested immediately. Upon arrival at the jail, Dean was placed into solitary confinement and held there until his release. Dean is being charged with felony possession of a controlled one substance (cannabis-derived-thc oil) w/intent to distribute. Dean returns to court for trial Sept 19th.

WHY YOU SHOULD CARE?

Over 17 states have legalized (or decriminalized the use and/or sell of marijuana and marijuana-derived thc oil, including our nation’s capital.

WHILE WHITE PEOPLE PROFIT FROM THE LEGALIZATION OF MARIJUANA, BLACK & BROWN FOLKS CONTINUE TO BE UNFAIRLY TARGETED & INCARCERATED FOR MARIJUANA-RELATED ARRESTS. ACCORDING TO A REPORT BY THE AMERICAN CIVIL LIBERTIES UNITION, BLACK AND WHITE PEOPLE USE MARIJUANA AT ABOUT THE SAME RATES, BUT BLACK PEOPLE ARE BETWEEN 3-10 TIMES MORE LIKELY TO BE ARRESTED."

WHAT’S AT STAKE?

Mandatory minimum of 1-10 years in prison

Life as a felon: loss of access to gov't assistance, voting rights, discrimination in housing & employment

Violence: Trans folks face higher rates of physical and sexual assault in prison.

Loss of livelihood: Dean has already lost his job as a result of the arrest. And has been denied employment opportunities due to the pending charges.

 WHAT CAN YOU DO?

Black Trans Activist w/ MS Facing Prison! 🚨 Help Dean Raise Funds for Legal Support! ✊🏾 #DefendDean

A Request for Help from Dean’s Friends and Fam:

We are reaching out in urgent and earnest care and concern to the trusted and valued family, friends and community of Dean Steed. Our comrade, activist, and friend Dean is in need your immediate support.

Dean is currently facing a mandatory minimum of 1 - 10 years in prison. On March 22, Dean was stopped by two white officers for a broken tail light. Dean was instructed to exit the vehicle. The officer’s proceeded to search the car and Dean was arrested immediately. Upon arrival at the jail, Dean was placed into solitary confinement and held there until his release. Dean is currently being charged with a felony for Possession of THC Oil, and two misdemeanors (Possession of Marijuana Less 1 oz and Possession and Use of Drug Paraphernalia). Dean returns to court on May 17 and he is in desperate need of legal representation.

Dean is not only fighting for his freedom, he is fighting for his health. Dean is a Trans man, with worsening Multiple-sclerosis. If imprisoned, accessing regular testosterone and other medicine-related to his MS, could become very difficult, if not impossible.That is why we are asking for immediate financial support with the exorbitant legal fees Dean will have to pay in order to remain safe, with his family and community.

Don’t abandon your lover, homie, cuz, or best friend because the relationships isn’t serving you. Communicate with that person about why the relationship isn’t serving you. Talk to them about your unmet needs. We sometimes leave, without communicating. Leaving our friends, partners and family without answers to why, we left. Robbing them of the opportunity to change, to redeem themselves, to apologize and be accountable. Don’t abandon them. Call them out. Call them to their higher selves. Challenge yourself to assert your boundaries in your relationship. This is for your growth and theirs.

You are absolutely allowed to abandon a relationship that no longer works for you regardless of the type of relationship or the length of it. Being in love is not a reason to stay in a situation where your needs aren’t being met.
