A reprint of a 2018 essay on the history and impact of the Stonewall Riot with an additional forward written in 2020. Stapled pamphlet binding and Risograph printing by Secret Riso Club. Typesetting by Wei Huang and Be Oakley.
"We need to remember that Stonewall was a riot against police brutality. As queer, trans and non-binary people, 2020 pride month can’t just be about a casual celebration of our identity. This month (like every month, for that matter) must focus on addressing the intersections of our collective oppression, that is rooted in white supremacy, heteronormativity and colonialism. This month we need to continue to honor and demand justice for George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery and everyone murdered by our white supremacist police state. As queer, trans and non-binary people we need to stand in solidarity and action in our refusal of joining the status quo. We need to stay fucking mad and protest, donate and coalition build with each other, to actively work towards the dismantling of our white supremacist police state. Pride 2020 is not a time for celebration, it is a time to show solidarity with cis, trans and non-binary Black people." -- from the forward
