Yesterday we posted a story on a trans woman in the Bronx who was brutally murdered. At the time, her name was unknown. Now we know. Her name is Tiffany Harris. Remember it well. She is more than a hashtag. She is more than a number. She is our sister. She is a human being.

ABOLISH the police. Yes, we need to defund them, but we also need to end the whole damn thing. "Defund the police" is being co-opted to mean "reform" by white liberals. That's not what we're about.

Pride is not a party. It never was. It was a protest. Marsha P. Johnson herself once said, “No pride for some of us without liberation for ALL of us.” This quote inspires our 2020 pride campaign and our overall politic. What is happening in the world is long overdue.
