Harlem Pride PETITION: Harlem Needs A Community Pride Center (New York City)

               

Official Website: HarlemPride.org

Harlem needs A Community PRIDE Center.  There are many reasons why this need is evident:
 

• Though home to the city’s second largest SGL/LGBT community outside of Brooklyn, Harlem is without a Community PRIDE Center that serves the needs of the diverse Same Gender Loving and Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender community in this area.

• There is an expressed hesitancy, difficulty or inability of Harlem’s SGL/LGBT community to travel to other Community PRIDE locations.  This is particularly true of the elderly and youth.

• There already exists a growing sense of PRIDE and opportunity in our community.  A Community PRIDE Center would enable us to tailor programs to the specific needs of our Uptown population.

• The long-standing history of Harlem’s SGL/LGBT community should not be forgotten, and the contributions of its current residents should be celebrated.

 

Please help Harlem Pride continue to the push to bring Harlem its very own Community Pride Center by signing their newly created online petition. Lending your voice to this effort is absolutely pivotal in making this dream a reality.

PLEASE SIGN OUR PETITION if you feel that it's time for Harlem to have a Community PRIDE Center.  

ALSO, please help spread the word via your social networks.

Thank you,
Harlem Pride, Inc.

About Harlem Pride...

In 2010, Harlem Pride's founders saw an opportunity to celebrate not just our SGL (Same Gender Loving) & LGBT community, but its role and contributions to Harlem's rich history and thus Harlem Pride was born. Our mission is to promote Same Gender Loving & Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender pride in Harlem and to provide opportunities for networking and communication among its SGL & LGBT organizations and community members. These opportunities are organized for and on behalf of all Same Gender Loving & Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender individuals and groups, and all others who support the struggle for the liberation of these communities. We invite the participation of all, regardless of age, creed, gender, gender identification, HIV status, national origin, physical, mental or developmental ability, race, religion or sexual origin.

The inaugural Harlem Pride Day Celebration was held on W. 119th Street between Lenox and Fifth Avenues, on Saturday, June 26, 2010 and hosted over three-thousand guests. Each year, during the last weekend in June, our pride celebration will consist of a VIP Launch Party on Friday, a Harlem Pride Day Celebration on Saturday, and a Harlem Pride Family Day on Sunday.

Since 2010, Harlem Pride has expanded to include monthly seminars and workshops, social events, and other community outreach activities.

Harlem Pride was incorporated in New York State as a Not-For-Profit Corporation in 2010, and received its retroactive 501(c)(3) tax exempt status from the Internal Revenue Service in 2011. Harlem Pride is a Registered Charity in New York State. All donations are Tax Deductible.

2nd Annual Bed-Stuy Pride 2012:

Challenging Violence and Building Resilience

Sunday, August 26th at Herbert Von King Park, Brooklyn

12PM – 6PM

Bed-Stuy Pride is an annual festival held in the heart of central Brooklyn that cherishes the diversity of our communities and recognizes the importance of creating safer spaces for lesbian, gay, bisexual, two-spirit, trans and gender non-conforming (LGBTSTGNC) people of color. Our communities experience greater violence related to both race and marginalized expressions of gender and/or sexuality including increased stop and frisks by police and stranger based violence. Transgender people of color are 2.38 times as likely to experience police violence and 1.85 as likely to experience discrimination [avp.org]. Organized by the Audre Lorde Project‘s Safe OUTside the System Collective (SOS) --- Bed-Stuy Pride is an opportunity to remind the residents of central Brooklyn of our histories and celebrate our communities.

Traditionally, pride marches all over the world (and especially in New York City) have been in recognition of the historic Stonewall riots. Contributions of transgender women of color like Marsha P. Johnson, Sylvia Riveria, and Miss Major --who were central to these historical riots are forgotten or ignored completely. Bed-Stuy pride is a chance to center these stories and provide the context of resistance and justice inherent in pride.

Bed-Stuy Pride highlights its commitment to safe neighborhoods and communities. On Sunday August 26th, there will be performances from local artists, interactive art installations, and community leaders. There will be a Freedom Tent [Inspired by 1968 Mississippi Freedom Schools] where skill-based workshops will be held including Navigating Gendered Public Space, Health and Wellness, Erotic Poetry, and much more will be offered throughout the day.

Free childcare, and Interpretation provided.

Detroit Police Search For Transgender Teen Missing For 2 weeks

PRESS RELEASE November 9, 2011 For Immediate Release Contact: Your friends at KICK! (313) 285-9733 KICK - The Agency for LGBT African-Americans

Detroit police search for transgender teen missing for 2 weeks We at KICK humbly requests your help ... As posted in the Detroit Free Press, by staff writer Tammy Stables Battaglia, dated November 8, 2011: Detroit Police investigators are searching for a transgender teen who has been missing for two weeks. Henry Hilliard, Jr., 19, also known as Shelley or Treasure, was last seen at 1:20 a.m. Oct. 23 in the 900 block Longfellow wearing a silver dress, according to request for help issued by the Detroit Police Monday. A cab driver that Hilliard often used for rides dropped Hilliard off at a home where three men were waiting for her, his mother, Lyniece Nelson, said today. But Hilliard immediately called the driver back, voicing concern about the situation, Nelson said. Henry Hilliard, Jr., 19, also known as Shelley or Treasure, was last seen at 1:20 a.m. Oct. 23 in the 900 block Longfellow wearing a silver dress, according to request for help issued by the Detroit Police Monday, November 7, 2011. / DPD The driver "started to hear her say, 'What are you doing,' then scream out loud 'No,' then her phone dropped, a few muffling noises, then the phone went dead," Nelson said. "By the time he got back around the corner, there was no one in sight." Hilliard, who models and does hair, hasn't contacted family members or posted on Facebook, both which typically happen every day, Nelson said. Hilliard has a piercing on the left eyebrow and several tattoos including a design of cherries on the upper right arm, according to police. We at KICK humbly request that anyone with information pertaining to the disappearance of Shelley aka Treasure please come forward. Anyone with information is asked to call Detroit Police at 313-596-2200 or Crimestoppers at 1-800-SPEAKUP. KICK - The Agency for LGBT African-Americans' mission is to increase awareness of and support to Detroit's dynamic LGBT culture through education and advocacy with integrity and pride.
