Age 79 • New York, New York
A veteran of the 1969 Stonewall uprising and unwavering advocate for survivors of violence, Victoria has a far-reaching impact in New York trans activism. She spent 17 years working for the New York City Anti-Violence Project and loved her role as a counselor. She once said, “If you have the empathy to help out people, that’s half the ordeal. Just having the empathy and letting them know that you’re there to help them, not to judge them.”
