Today is the first day of Pride Month. As we celebrate our progress and continue the fight to protect queer and trans communities, remember that the first Pride was a riot. Protests have always been central to winning our rights and liberties. They are the backbone of our democracy and freedoms – and right now, the right to protest is under attack.
Across the nation, protests face disproportionate and militarized responses. And at protests, we’re seeing ever-increasing police violence against queer and trans folks, especially our Black and brown trans siblings.
Queer and trans feminists continue to teach us so much about standing up and fighting for our rights. It is in the legacy of these leaders that we must protect the right to protest.
