“I was a radical, a revolutionist. I am still a revolutionist. I was proud to make the road and help change laws and what-not. I was very proud of doing that and proud of what I’m still doing, no matter what it takes.”
– Sylvia Rivera, quoted in “‘I’M GLAD I WAS IN THE STONEWALL RIOT’: AN INTERVIEW WITH SYLVIA RIVERA
In the first rehearsal-gathering for Sacred Resilience we will consider the truths that gender-expansiveness has taught us about ourselves, about our relationships to one another, and about the world. There will be time for connecting with one another, sharing stories, and of course... singing!
The first hour of this event (5:30–6:30 PDT) will hold space for trans, gender non-conforming, two-spirit, and all people who have found home outside the gender assigned to them at birth. Cis people are invited to participate for the closing rehearsal portion of this event, from 6:30–7pm PDT.
