Selected readings will illuminate the interconnections of racism and sexism, lessons from battles for queer rights and free speech, and strategies for overcoming obstacles to revolution.

In the last week there have been a series of cases where members of the gay community have been assaulted, robbed and hospitalized. At which point do we say enough is enough? We must stand together and let the city of New York that this will no longer be tolerated. The ignorance towards the gay community must come to an end. This is a call to arms for the entire gay community to begin to rise up and fight back. We stand in solidarity with those who have been victims of hate crimes.

The new coalition is in the beginning processes of forming its political identity. As a coalition, we want to focus on politics before the logistics of events, marches, and protests. This beginning political process will inform our activism later. We are forming our political identity by discussing the magnitude and the manifestations of rape culture and how we can liberate all people from rape culture.

About Non-Violence: No Higher Calling
“The Wright brothers appeared crazy before they flew. I have this crazy idea – a world without violence. With all the violence in the world this idea may appear to be hoping for Utopia, but we need to dream, and we will get there.” - H.H. Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
