This summer marks the 40th anniversary of the legendary Stonewall Rebellion, a spark that helped launch four decades of queer radical movements-sex radicalism, lesbian feminism, and transgender liberation; anti-war, HIV/AIDS, economic and racial justice struggles; and more. Some LGBT activists would draw a straight line from the uprising against police violence then to mainly the campaign for marriage equality now-but we know there has been a diverse abundance of agendas & visions for queer & trans politics every step of the way.
In conjunction with Left Turn magazine's new issue focused on queer radicalism, the Audre Lorde Project, FIERCE, The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center, Left Turn, Queers for Economic Justice, and Sylvia Rivera Law Project present an informative and inspiring evening of stories from movements past, strategies for the present moment, and our dreams for the future.
Presented by: Audre Lorde Project, Brecht Forum, FIERCE, Left Turn, The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center, Queers for Economic Justice & Sylvia Rivera Law Project
