A silent march to
1. To divert media attention away from fascists looking to play the media, promoting their hateful propaganda to dominate.
2. Never Forget
To never forget what fascism has done to queer & vulnerable communities. From trans & queer people being the first to die in concentration camps to every other hateful death inflicted on our community before and after those moments.
3. Spread compassion in the face of intolerance & division
To use this as an opportunity to spread awareness, community, & tolerance in the face of division
4. Non-violence.
Self-defense is human.
5. To counter hate speech with compassion for those suffering, music, & flowers.
6. To honor those who died in the face of hatred:
To those who died fighting for their lives during the days of Act Up & an oppressive administration that did nothing to fight for us.
To honor queer & vulnerable people who have died in the hands of transphobic, racist, & misogynistic fascists, hate mongers, & white supremacists.
Please wear a pink triangle to symbolize that we have not forgotten (if you’re comfortable) and in either place, pledge to uphold queer, progressive, & compassionate resistance.
Will you be at one of these events?
We’re here to support community at Crissy Field & to make sure that folks who plan on being at there are able to have community & not be isolated during an event designed to divide, isolate, and hurt us.
Please be inspired and aware of the history of Act Up, compassionate, nonviolent queer actions, and the queer activism that makes the Bay Area like nowhere else in the world.
We’re here to recruit you to love one another in the face of hatred.
We’re here to set the story straight & not allow hate propaganda to dominate the media without correction.
No pressure to RSVP if you’re uncomfortable.
We’ll be creating signs, bringing flowers & music, collaborating with other non-violent groups, & demonstrating what peace & advocacy look like. We will not be taking part in any acts that will compromise our message or our fight to be rid of fascism. We’ll promote justice, co-existence, understanding, & empowerment of leaders who step up and resist.
