ALT “'queer' not being about who you're having sex with (that can be a dimension of it) but 'queer' being about the self that is at odds with everything around it & that has to invent & create & find a place to speak & to thrive & to live” bell hooks inspires us today & everyday at Bayard Rustin Center for Social Justice HQ rustincenter.org ANGELIC TROUBLEMAKERS ASSEMBLE!

ALT This Labor Day we show great respect to the Labor Movement who fought for us & afforded us this day for rejuvenation but we must also recognize how far we still have yet to go in the ongoing campaign for essential workers’ rights! “We meet on a common ground of determination that in this, the richest & most productive society ever known to man, the scourge of poverty can & must be abolished…” Bayard Rustin In our nation overflowing with wealth & the utter disparity of disbursement of such, he dared to ask, “What would happen if we actually shared it?”
 The “Freedom Budget for All Americans” was his direct answer, a powerful plan rooted not in charity, but in justice. Today for respite & restoration afforded to us by our Union brothers, sisters, & non-binary siblings Mañana we must continue our pivotal work as set forth in Bayard’s visionary “Freedom Budget for All Americans”!
