4/20: Stonewall & Beyond: Honoring 40 Years of Radical Queer Organizing
Posted by Q4EJ on April 13, 2009 · Leave a Comment
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.
Confirmed speakers include:
Jay Toole, Queers for Economic Justice
Imani Henry, International Action Center
James Credle, Newark Pride Alliance
Mahina Movement
Julie Davids, Community HIV/AIDS Mobilization Project
Katherine Acey, Astraea Lesbian Foundation for Justice
Rickke Mananzala, FIERCE
Trishala Deb, Audre Lorde Project
