Queer and Trans Dance Party Protest
Our Mission:
This peaceful protest is a celebration of our diversity, our strength, and our love, a declaration that even in the darkest times, we can come together and DANCE in the face of tyranny.
Inspired by the Queer Dance Party at Mike Pence’s House by WERK for Peace and further encouraged by the Queer Rage(r) in Philadelphia, we would like to continue the tradition of dance party protests.
We are enraged, we are heartbroken, we are afraid. But that is why we FIGHT.
We stand united against homophobia, transphobia, ableism, racism, sexism, Islamophobia, and anti-semitism. We reject Trump’s tirade of hatred and bigotry. We envision a brighter future.
How You Can Help:
This protest is shaping up to be a huge event and we appreciate everyone's encouragement and participation up until now, but now we need your help more than ever!
In order for this to be successful, we will need funding for:
- Permit fees, so that the protest is legal and safe
- Speakers and monitor so that we can blast our music for all to hear
- Transportation for sound equipment
- Generator
- If money allows, some party supplies (flag, lights, glitter) to make this an epic celebration of the LGBTQIA+ community and our dedication to protesting an agenda of hostility
- ANY and ALL leftover funds will be donated to LGBT causes
Our goal is to stage a protest that will foster our community's strength and hope, that will unite us against fear and oppression, and give us energy for future resistance. We appreciate your help more than we can possibly say. Thank you!!!
