Daring to Be Powerful is one of ALP's oldest and most cherished community organizing workshops.  The Audre Lorde Project aims to build both individual and collective power to better challenge the multiple oppressions faced by Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Two-Spirit, Transgender and Gender Non-Conforming People of Color communities. DTBP is our signature organizing institute for building skills, analysis of oppression & power, community building, learning about current issues and campaigns to get involved with, and offering opportunities for strategizing and community organizing.

Come join us for our upcoming sessions, designed specifically for QTBIPOC only. Priority will be given to those who can attend all the sessions and for those currently living in NYC.

Highlights from ALP

Self-Preservation as Political Warfare: Writing Toward Care as Resistance

When: 
Thursday, June 4, 2026 - 6:30pm

 

Self-preservation is more than a wellness trend - it is survival, resistance, and reclamation. 

Join healotry and The Audre Lorde Project for Self-Preservation as Political Warfare: Writing Toward Care as Resistance, an interactive poetry workshop grounded in the words of Audre Lorde:
"Caring for myself is not self-indulgence. It is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare."

Together, we will explore rest, boundaries, joy, and care as acts of resistance through reflection, discussion, and creative writing. Participants will leave with original writing, collective affirmation, and reminders that our healing is political too. 

Come write, reflect, and affirm that caring for ourselves in a world that demands our exhaustion is a revolutionary act.

Refreshments will be provided!

Annual Report 2025

2025 was not an easy year. A year when our communities—Black and Brown Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Two Spirit, Trans, and Gender Non-Conforming people—were asked yet again to survive systems that were never built for us.

And still, we showed up.
