TRANS GIRL PICNIC 💜JUNE 22💜
hi girls,
HAPPY PRIDE!!!!!! because the last sunday in june is Queer March, please note this picnic is going to take place on june 22 the second-to-last sunday instead! as always, the picnic will start at 12:30pm on the Starr side of Maria Hernandez Park, and it will run through the afternoon until people filter out. please help keep the picnic accessible and stay home if you are sick. invite friends who don’t see us on newsletter or instagram! any questions, hit up the host committee at TransGirlPicnic@protonmail.com
things are heated this pride month, as we all knew they would be. the picnic is here as a place to rest and unwind.💜
thanks again to everyone for coming out to the migrant defense rapid response training last month with Mi Casa Resiste! friends at the rapid response program gave a brief teach-in and thirteen girls received an onboarding orientation on how to help document, de-escalate, and offer support during police and ICE raids on local migrant vendors. if you missed it, reach out to the host committee and we can tell you more. our picnic’s home is in Bushwick, a Black and Brown immigrant neighborhood, and our wellbeing as transfemmes is wrapped up in the wellbeing our neighbors.
if you find yourself going to actions against the ICE kidnappings, actions against the genocide in Palestine, or even just a “No Kings” protest, please take care. go with a buddy. wear a mask. understand your risk level and the risk level of those around you and prepare accordingly. keep any and all identifying information of individual protesters and protest activities off social media and avoid posting about about political actions you take in the street, legal or otherwise. the host committee is in solidarity with you and we wish you the best of luck!

love,
the host committee
