On August 18, 2006 seven young African American lesbians traveled to the West Village from their homes in Newark for a regular night out.  When walking down the street, a male bystander assaulted them with sexist and homophobic comments.  The women tried to defend themselves, and a fight broke out.  Thus began the women’s nightmare for almost a year.  Three of the women accepted plea offers.  On June 14, 2007 Venice Brown (19), Terrain Dandridge (20(, Patreese Johnson (20), and Renata Hill (24) received sentences ranging from 3 1/2  to 11 years in prison. 

If ever one needs an example of the ways systems of White Supremacist Hetero-Patriarchy operate, this is for you.  Please write support letters, love letters, generous notes, kind words, etc. to:

This is Gael from Sylvia Rivera Law Project & Reg from Critical
Resistance and Queers for Economic Justice. We’re calling out to
folks interested in being part of the planning committee for a
Transforming Justice East Coast regional gathering.

First, a little about Transforming Justice. Back in October 2007,
Transforming Justice brought together over 200 formerly imprisoned
transgender people and allies to work together to:

*Build a shared conversation and analysis among the LGBT, anti-prison,
and prisoner rights movements about the root causes of imprisonment,
poverty, and criminalization in transgender communities;

*Prioritize and build leadership of transgender and gender
non-conforming people most impacted by prisons, poverty, and policing;

*Create space to share and develop strategies to end the cycles of
imprisonment, criminalization, and poverty in our communities.

A number of participants from the Northeast region who attended the
gathering Transforming Justice on October 13th & 14th in Oakland
California have been talking about organizing a regional gathering
similar to the national one maybe some where in New York, New Jersey
or Philadelphia. We want to build on the momentum from Transforming
Justice and continue to build a movement that challenges the Prison
Industrial Complex and talk about ways of supporting and strengthening
the work at the regional level.
We wanted to propose doing an initial conference call to check-in and
talk about our capacity to hold a gathering, would folks be down for
that?

Also, Critical Resistance is holding its 10 year anniversary
conference (CR10) this September out in Oakland, CA & we were
wondering if folks were interested going to the conference. Because a
lot of people nation wide are expected to attend, this could be a good
place to continue the conversations started at Transforming Justice
thru us doing workshops, panels & gathering together with other people
working on similar issues. If people are interested in going maybe we
could work on the workshop proposals all together (like at a regional
gathering!) & figure out other ways to implement Transforming Justice
into the whole conference. In addition, we thought of bringing back
the Queer Visibility collaboration between various folks attending
CR10, similar to the organizing we did for the US Social Forum which
not only implemented queer visibility throughout the forum in terms of
trainings and internal accountability to queer and trans issues but
also brought the participation of queer and trans speakers at various
panels and other presentations throughout the conference. If folks
who were involved then want to bring this group back for CR10 please
join the call and let us know.

Please forward far and wide and especially to transgender and gender
non-conforming former prisoners who would like to be part of the
planning committee. To sign on to the listserve you can go to yahoo
groups and search for transformingjustice_northeast.

Thanks!

You could be my support system,
to find peace in my heart.
And to keep me from falling deeper,
into loneliness and despair

And life must continue,
even if I have to be by myself.
But things would be so much better
if I had someone at my side

I know I am weak,
in some areas of my life.
That’s why I need someone strong,
to help me up when I fall.

Sure I am sick
and at times I want to give up
But you could give me the strength,
to keep my head held high.

So I got to keep my life,
and live it one day at a time.
And if you are at my side,
then  Ican survive in everyway

But then again,
this could only work both ways.
For I would have to be at your side,
so you too can make it day by day

We are Prisoners of time
Slaves to circumstance
and beggars for eternity
We have so made small our souls.

To match our situations
that is greed for trash
We have trampled greatness
and laughing at their prey.

Time tightens the chains
that bind us
circumstances cracks the whip
that marks us
Only our eternity grieves
that we are fools.

Into The Light

A voice is calling softly
from the stillness of the night
peace and joy will follow
when you walk into the light

I leave behind my sadness
tear off this fake disguise
and stop the war thats raging
between my tears and eyes

No longer will I travel
a road that has no end
no sign ahead will tellme
go back and start again

I’ve found what I’ve been missing
it’s love and care in my life
lets peace surround my body
when I walk into this light

There are a large number of updates on this site.  I would love to hear what you think of the pieces going up. I will have a report back from the Transforming Justice conference up sometime in the next few days.  At this point just know that it was amazing, inspiring, and challenging in great ways.  Those of you who know queer youth in the Boston area, please direct them to the over night conference information available under the ministry page. 

Hearts and Fists,
Jason
 

On Wednesday, September 26, 2007, officers from the New York Police
Department’s 9th precinct made an unprovoked attack, employing
excessive use of force against members of the Sylvia Rivera Law Project
and other community members. While pepper-spraying a group of people
who were gathered outside of a celebration and benefit for the
organization’s five year anniversary, the police also violently
arrested two people from the crowd, Ileana Mendez-Penate and Reggie
Gossett. These two people were released the following night, and all
charges were dropped.

A press conference will be held on Monday, October 1st @ 2pm on the
front steps of New York City Hall in Lower Manhattan. We at The Sylvia
Rivera Law Project would like to thank all the local elected officials
and their staffers, especially Rosie Mendez and her staff, who had a
hand in the eventual release of the two detainees.

WHO: Community members and Allies of the Sylvia Rivera Law
Project, including the two arrestees, Reggie Gossett and Ileana
Mendez-Penate.

WHAT: A press conference on the steps of New York City Hall.

WHEN: 2:00 pm, Monday October 1, 2007.

WHERE: On the Steps of New York City Hall, in City Hall Park between Broadway, Park Row and Chambers Street.

WHY: By holding this press conference, transgender activists and
allies prepare to send the message that excessive unprovoked police
force and false arrests by the 9th precinct or any other precinct will
not be tolerated.

UPDATE: 8:30pm Thursday 9/27

Reggie and Ileana have just been released from police custody! The DA
declined prosecution, which means that no charges are being pressed.
They are free and clear, and are now getting the support they need
from their community - in person.

We are all thrilled by this result, the only truly just outcome after
a long night and day of injustice. Thank you to everyone who has
helped out and expressed support, including all of the allied
organizations, fellow activists, community members and council people
who stepped up to support us.

Although they have thankfully been released, our work around this
incident is not finished. Now it is time to hold the police
accountable for the unnecessary force and community targeting that
occurred last night, and work so that no more incidents like this
happen again. We will keep you all posted as to our
next steps and ways to plug in.

 This jail will house primarily low income, poor, not violent, women of color.  The prison system within this country is a devastating stain on our ability to do justice.  Please visit the Statewide Harm Reduction Coalition website to learn more about the history of the campaign to stop the jail. 

To those queer folks who are yet to understand how this applies to us, please understand that many of the individuals who will be detained (many of whom will be subject to torture, sexual violence, regular assault, etc.) will be same gender loving women, lesbian, queer women, gender non-conforming folks.  This is because the system of oppression that perpetuates the prison system targets us.  Please remember this! 

This is our last couple of weeks to stop it from opening.  What kind of action is left to be taken?
