Every day I watch supposedly progressive people concern themselves with the wrongs upon their lives and even other continents while doing nothing to support #Reparations for the #Native#Indigenous#BIPOC#FormerlyEnslaved peoples on the stolen lands and lives they benefit from.

For those that do support our businesses & #IndigenousMutualAid; For those that understand the great harms inflicted upon us & the need for reparations; For those that do something about it, I thank you.

On June 28, 1969, police raided the #StonewallInn, a New York City bar that welcomed the most marginalized members of the fledgling queer "community": young, poor, and #BIPOC#LGBTQ+ people.

Fed up with being on the receiving end of state violence, drag performers, trans and gender nonconforming people, homeless youth, and queer people of color fought back.

The scuffle became a weeklong riot and marked a pivotal turning point in the movement for LGBTQ+ rights in the United States.

ANNIVERSARY OF THE STONEWALL REBELLION

On June 28, 1969, police raided the Stonewall Inn, a New York City bar that welcomed the most marginalized members of the fledgling queer "community": young, poor, and BIPOC LGBTQ+ people.

Fed up with being on the receiving end of state violence, drag performers, trans and gender nonconforming people, homeless youth, and queer people of color fought back.

The scuffle became a weeklong riot and marked a pivotal turning point in the movement for LGBTQ+ rights in the United States.

New Jersey's own Marsha P. Johnson, who arrived at the bar after the riots had started, was instrumental in channeling the post-rebellion fervor for queer liberation among the city's poor, homeless, trans and gender nonconforming youth of color.

One year later, the first Pride marches were held to honor the bravery of the veterans of the rebellion and continue the fight for equality they galvanized that night.
