Turn rage against police abuse into rainbow resistance

Honouring the Stonewall Rebellion:
Turn rage against police abuse into rainbow resistance

At 1.20 am on 28 June 1969, cops carried out a routine raid on New York City’s Stonewall Inn. Police harassment of LGBTIQ communities long predates 1969, and it hasn’t stopped — as shown by the state-sanctioned brutality of Victoria Police at Melbourne’s Hares & Hyenas 50 years later.

Radical Women will pay tribute to Stonewall’s working-class queer and trans patrons of colour, who resisted and ignited the worldwide Gay Liberation Movement. Join in exploring what’s behind this police violence. Add your thoughts about what it will take to end it.

All genders welcome!
