Durvi Martinez died on July 1st of coronavirus, three months after being deported to Mexico. Durvi, a trans woman who had suffered severe violence before immigrating to the United States, was deported despite a pending asylum claim.

Before their deportation, Durvi was part of the farmworker community in Vermont and a member of human rights organization Migrant Justice. They were a brave and outspoken advocate for immigrant and LGBTQ rights. Durvi will be remembered as a loving and supportive friend.

Durvi’s family must now pay significant hospital bills and funeral costs and support is urgently needed. All donations will go directly to Durvi’s family to pay for these expenses.
