SF’s own Stonewall happened at Compton’s Coalition in 1966. Now the Compton’s Coalition wants the city to stop hosting a Geo Group jail at 111 Taylor in the Tenderloin, the site where the uprising took place. #queerhistory #comptonscafeteriariot #stonewallriots #sfqueerhistory

Organizations like @tgijp and @TransLawCenter are leading the way by providing vital resources like legal support, reentry toolkits, know-your-rights guides, and socio-economic opportunities. But the work doesn't stop there… you can help too‼️

Our staff just left court support in Alameda County for a Black trans man who is currently in custody. He is having a difficult time in Santa Rita Jail facing discrimination from the sheriffs. We’ll be back for court support next week.

D’Andrea is a Black woman from Los Angeles, CA who has experienced the prison industrial complex (PIC) from juvenile facilities to prison.
Upon her release in April 2024, she was hired with Miss Major Alexander L. Lee TGIJP Black Trans Cultural Center’s Melanie Eleneke Socio-Economic Justice Re-Entry Program.
We are excited for our re-entry case manager D’Andrea to get on the panel and share her story with you all for @blkwomenradical Part Two: Is There (Really) A Black Feminist Movement? On Diasporic Black Trans Politics, Praxes, and Perspectives
