Although the quote predates her, trans activists today remember Sylvia Rivera as saying we must “Fight like hell for the living!” Sylvia Rivera and Marsha P. Johnson are legends of the Stonewall riot, and organized trans people on the streets and in prisons and jails throughout their careers.
A cross-generational panel featuring contemporary queer and trans Bronx organizers reflects on the ways in which Rivera and Johnson’s respective legacies live on today in the borough’s social movements. Hear from those who have fought like hell against new jail construction, queer homelessness, and development projects that displace Bronx residents.
