Welcome to The Journey Continues, a Cities United Podcast. Cities United is a national network that supports Mayors, Community leaders and young leaders from all across the country who are all committed to creating safe healthy and hopeful neighborhoods for young black men and boys. On today’s episode, you’ll hear from two organizers who bring different perspectives to the work of reimagining public safety. Elle Hearns (@soulfreedreams) is an organizer, speaker, strategist, and writer. Currently leading the Marsha P. Johnson Institute, Elle has committed her life to fighting for the rights of trans-people. Quaniqua Cathan-Love (@Kew2_u)is the Director of Planning and Programming for Cities United and gives an organization understanding of how to better approach the conversation of public safety and tools we can use. This conversation will give us perspective on their lenses of what Public Safety is and what it could look like in the future. Let’s get to know Elle and Quaniqua. Let’s understand who they are, where they are and why they do it. For more information on the Marsha P. Johnson Institute, visit MarshaP.org To stay up to date on the happenings of Cities United, visit CitiesUnited.org and subscribe to our newsletter. Sponsored by Levi Strauss & Co.

Elle Hearns did not set out to lead movements for social justice. Nor was it her lifelong dream to make the world a better and safer place for Black transgender communities. Growing up in Ohio, she imagined herself as an iconic singer, a chart-topping diva with a voice powerful enough to crack your soul wide open.  In the end, she did end up using the power of her voice to inspire people -- just not in the way she originally planned. As one of the world’s most effective leaders in the movement for social change, Elle has dedicated her life to organizing and advocating for marginalized communities. She began her career working on campaigns for marriage equality and don’t-ask-don’t-tell policy change. She then transitioned to groundbreaking work as a leading voice for the Black Lives Matter Global Network. In her current role as the founder and executive director of the Marsha P. Johnson Institute, she’s dedicated herself to protecting and defending the human rights of Black transgender people.  Under Elle’s leadership, the Marsha P. Johnson Institute has become a vital resource for Black trans women in particular, who have suffered an onslaught of violent attacks resulting in alarmingly low life expectancy rates. Elle has focused on raising awareness, advocating for policy change and marshalling resources to provide pathways to stability. Her work has generated widespread media attention toward the plight of Black trans women in the pages of Vogue and The LA Times. The Institute also recently received a $500,000 gift from Google earmarked for COVID relief.  Among Elle’s many remarkable qualities is her ability to apply a strategic mindset toward affecting change within her own besieged community. But it’s the strength of Elle’s voice -- what she says and how she says it -- that remains her most powerful tool in her efforts to build a better world for all its inhabitants. Links The Marsha P.
