Attendees of the Transgender Day of Visibility rally in Montana lay down on the floor in the state Capitol rotunda in an event inspired by "die-ins" held by AIDS activists in the 1980s, Friday, March 31, in Helena, Mont. The effort was to "visibly lay our bodies in this space and claim this space as our own," said Izzi Milch, senior advocacy manager with Forward Montana, a nonprofit dedicated to helping younger residents to get engaged in politics and shape policies. A performer, who goes by the name Natalita, led participants in a chant saying: "My body is my own. I am in control."6/15
