I am so incredibly thankful for the amazing work of FIERCE! in New York City.  One of their incredible projects is a Cop Watch (which you can find under their campaigns on the website.  You will also find the amazing video that I have posted below also on their site.  Over and over again we leave our queer/trans histories behind in favor of assimilating into dominant power structures.  White dykes and faggots tear and climb to the top forgetting (or more honestly intentionally harming) queer/trans people of color and poor folks.  Gentrification and community destruction are so often on the gay agenda that the realities of police brutality, economic apartheid, and white supremacy are brushed to the side as non-issues.  As pride season approaches don’t drop your money in the buckets for pride committees or the HRC send that money to organizations like FIERCE! and remember that a fight for queer liberation is also a fight against the violence of police.
