Reproductive Justice means Queer and Gender Justice stays to the front of the conversation.

This week is Trans-Awareness Week and on this particular day we take part in the collective act of veneration. For every single soul we’ve lost, the lost “little rooms” that held great things like future acts or safe places to connect, and all the old ways and the old days that gave way to our todays-- both in privilege and in struggle--we encourage you to speak them aloud today. Spare yourself fear of looking or sounding silly in order to fully seat yourself at their feet, or in those old bars, or back where you were petitioning for something that we all get to enjoy without thought now. Say their names aloud. Dance in your space right now. Remind the youth what they must remember to maintain their freedom. Most importantly, use the rest of this week to celebrate our siblings who are still alive and with us. Leave your roses, throw your magnolias, and especially your dollars to the dolls at the altar and here earthside with us.
