FINALLY! After years of planning the long awaited pride event that everyone has been waiting for is here. Next summer SOS will be hosting the FIRST EVER Bedstuy Pride 2011!
This first event will be a combo as we will also be saying goodbye to the former SOS coordinator, Ejeris Dixon. Ejeris has put in countless hours to SOS, and has helped birth the program itself. Folks will have the opportunity to get on the mic and wish her well in her journey.
Leading up... to the event, SOS will be hosting multiple launch events. This is the first of many so look out for us throughout the year and get ready to strut your stuff in summer 2011!
The Safe OUTside the System (SOS) Collective is an anti-violence program led by and for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Two Spirit, Trans, and Gender Non Conforming people of color. We are devoted to challenging hate and police violence by using community based strategies rather than relying on the police. SOS is a project of the Audre Lorde Project.
