Pushing Envelopes Chicago

Building community at the intersection of LGBTQ+ identities & incarceration -- penpals, legal aid, reentry support. Grounded in abolition ❤️‍🔥

At the end of the month, we’ll be celebrating by hosting a 🎉📚 birthday party on February 24 📚🎉! We hope to see you there! (Masks will be required and we will have air purifiers from @Clean_Air_Club_)

It’s Liberation Library's 9th birthday month!

This month, we are raising funds for Free the Dream$, our magazine created by and for young people inside.

Can you help us reach our goal of raising $24,225 to Fund A Run of Free the Dream$? https://t.co/Mldqq49xbL

There's more to LGBTQ+ community than gay bars & we're calling on all of you to not let that slide. We DEMAND our loved ones be housed, fed, & cared for. BOYCOTT 2Bears Tavern for their attack on Chicago’s houseless community. Share widely.

🚨CALL TO ACTION🚨 When we fight for queer & trans liberation, we fight for ALL of our LGBTQ+ community, INCLUDING and ESPECIALLY our most vulnerable members.

2Bears Tavern Uptown has made it clear that profits are more valuable than the lives of our unhoused family. 1/2
