Resource Center Planning Session
The Audre Lorde Project invites you to a Resource Center planning session.
We are hoping to gather community members, holistic practitioners, writers, and artists to create community-building and FUN events for the spring and summer of 2009.
Get updated on what’s been happening at ALP and join others as we work together to make ALP a resource for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Two Spirit Trans & Gender Non-Conforming (LGBTSTGNC) People of Color communities.
This meeting is open to LGBTSTGNC People of Color
In our work and in our living, we must recognize that difference is a reason for celebration and growth, rather than a reason for destruction. *Audre Lorde*
Celebrate With Elizabeth Marie Rivera This Saturday at ALP!

Join the Audre Lorde Project, Sunday at 2pm, at the Vigil: United Against Hate.
Neighborhoods like Bushwick are routinely subjected to police brutality. Therefore we believe that it is ultimately the community's responsibility to ensure that tragedies like this never occur. We recognize the power of community members to challenge the root causes of violence. Therefore we call on all community members to organize for education, transformation, and healing.
Vigil: United Against Hate!
In response to Bushwick Hate Crime Committed Against the Sucuzhanay Brothers
When: Sunday December 14, 2008 at 2pm
Where: At Make the Road's Community Park (Corner of Grove Street and Myrtle Ave.) *We will march to the corner where the incidents happened (Corner of Bushwick Ave. and Kossuth Place.)
How to get there: Take the L train or the M train to Myrtle-Wycoff Ave
We are counting on your support: Let's fight against Hate Crimes as One Community!
