This piece was created during Pride 2013, to celebrate Marsha "Pay It no Mind" Johnson, one of the mothers of the trans and queer liberation movement, and to express our rage at the white supremacist corporate appropriation of Pride celebrations.

The words "No Pride For Some of Us Without Liberation For All of Us" are by Micah Bazant. This messaging has since been used by trans and queer racial justice organizers across the US.

Advice for Budding Activists w/ Andrea Ritchie 

[hbd-resources]

Critical Resistance seeks to build an international movement to end the Prison Industrial Complex by challenging the belief that caging and controlling people makes us safe. We believe that basic necessities such as food, shelter, and freedom are what really make our communities secure. As such, our work is part of global struggles against inequality and powerlessness. The success of the movement requires that it reflect communities most affected by the PIC. Because we seek to abolish the PIC, we cannot support any work that extends its life or scope.

Sylvia and Marsha were deeply concerned about the dangers faced by their fellow transvestites, who were often forced to pursue prostitution to support themselves. As STAR, they created a collective and shelter for transgender people. The first shelter, which they started in an abandoned tractor trailer, went mythically awry when the owner recovered the trailer and drove off with the queens inside. STAR then moved on to renovate a burned-out building on the Lower East Side. The queens banded together as a collective — sharing food, money, and their lives.
