Today we celebrate Bayard Rustin! Bayard "Mr. Marzo on Washington" Rustin (1912-1987) was an organizer, leader, and freedom fighter. He is one of the most influential activists of the civil rights movement and organized the 1963 march on Washington for jobs and freedom. though his leadership as an openly gay man was often questioned, Rustin was a champion of advocacy and is credited with making Dr. Martin Luther king jr. into the symbol that he was.#blackhistory #mlk #bayardrustin

BLACK QUEER HISTORY IS BLACK HISTORY. For Black History Month, BSA will be highlighting influential LGBTQ+ figures who have contributed to the community as cultural curators, innovators, activists, and more. Today, we honor Stormé Delarverie. An Icon, Drag King, and Activist. .Stormé DeLarverie "The legendary Stonewall lesbian" was a drag king, icon, and activist. It has been noted that "Despite anything else you’ve read, DeLarverie is the brave, butch lesbian who incited the Stonewall Revolution". Stormé was a drag king who toured the country and was known for her queer gender-bending fashion. It was her encounter with the police during the stonewall rebellion that galvanized the crown into action. Thank you, Stormé.You can help us honor her by purchasing an item from our “Icons” merch collection (link in bio)!#blackhistorymonth #stonewall

¡Necesitamos tu ayuda!

Brave Space Alliance se creó para llenar un vacío en la organización y los servicios para las personas trans y no conformes con el género. En la actualidad, existen muy pocos servicios sociales o redes de defensa LGBTQ en los lados sur y oeste de Chicago. Además, los pocos recursos específicos para personas trans que hay en la ciudad se encuentran en los barrios de mayoría blanca del North Side, que son inaccesibles geográficamente, y que además suelen dar lugar a la hipervigilancia de las personas trans de color que intentan acceder a ellos.
