As a direct response to an increase in homophobic/transphobic violence and policing, this organizing center for lesbian, gay, bi, two-spirit, transgender, and gender non-conforming People of Color opens in New York City.

The project honors the memory of Audre Lorde by building organizing strategies centered around responding to police violence, HIV/AIDS activism, immigration justice, ending mass incarceration, and building collective care, safety, survival, and liberation.
