The Audre Lorde Project (ALP) continues to transform Lesbian Gay Bisexual Two Spirit Trans & Gender Non Conforming People of Color lives in New York City and our movements at large! Many of us still live in poverty, face under employment, homelessness, policing and violence and yet we are resilient and are building strategies that insist on our collective survival and liberation. We believe we are the ones to value, honor and resource our stories & lives with dignity, love & liberation.
As we head towards a new year we are excited to build safety, leadership, wellness, movement & the cultural memory of our communities with you. We especially want to lift up ways we resource and sustain our own work, because We are Worth It!
Join us for the ALP ‘Put $5 On Us’ Fundraising Drive! You are invited to Put $5 or More a Month on Us! When 500 Members of ALP, and our Family & Friends, put $5 a month or moreon ALP, we can generate $30,000 towards our collective liberation.
