This Community Day of Action brings together our community to speak
out against all forms of economic oppression of lesbian, gay, bisexual, queer, trans and gender nonconforming people:
We rally against violence against our communities and within families;
We demand accountability from the HRA and city agencies who refuse to follow the law and comply with providing non-discriminatory services for LGBT/GNC folks;
Recognition that the fight for state-sanctioned marriage has eclipsed more pressing issues such as homelessness, unemployment, healthcare,immigrant-rights, police brutality;
We oppose the effort to gentrify and privatize the public spaces
homeless people call home, which leads to the targeting of the poor
and homeless by the NYPD;
We condemn the racist and xenophobic "immigration debates" in congress and oppose indefinite and mandatory detention of non-citizens.
Join us after the march and rally for a COMMUNITY CELEBRATION in
Judson Memorial Church (55 Washington Square South). Come together
over dinner with performances, small groups, games (food, Metro Card
and childcare provided!).
