Tgirl Picnic this sunday + teach-in on how to support local migrant vendors
hey girls,
Picnic as usual this Sunday at Maria Hernandez Park, plus we’re gonna have a few friends from the migrant vendor rapid response network come speak about the escalating police harassment of our neighbors in the plazas, and what we can do to help! The teach-in will be optional and held off to the side of our usual spot. Picnic will proceed as normal.
Starr Street side of the park. Starts at 12:30, goes til whenever (usually 5 or 6). Bring a mask to wear, food if you want, and something to sit on <3
Presenters are trusted friends from the migrant vendor rapid response network, which is a collaboration between the vendors at Myrtle Wyckoff/Knickerbocker Plaza, NYC Migrant Solidarity, and Mi casa resiste. The rapid response network is an autonomous group of people in Bushwick and Ridgewood who offers direct legal support and watches for police/ICE harassment in the plazas. Come to learn more about what’s up in the neighborhood and, if you’re local, consider volunteering! (They need more hands)
see ya soon!!!! any questions, accommodation requests, or comments, hit us up at TransGirlPicnic@protonmail.com <3
love,
Bushwick trans girl picnic host committee
