SF’s own Stonewall happened at Compton’s Coalition in 1966. Now the Compton’s Coalition wants the city to stop hosting a Geo Group jail at 111 Taylor in the Tenderloin, the site where the uprising took place. #queerhistory #comptonscafeteriariot #stonewallriots #sfqueerhistory

Organizations like @tgijp and @TransLawCenter are leading the way by providing vital resources like legal support, reentry toolkits, know-your-rights guides, and socio-economic opportunities. But the work doesn't stop there… you can help too‼️

Our staff just left court support in Alameda County for a Black trans man who is currently in custody. He is having a difficult time in Santa Rita Jail facing discrimination from the sheriffs. We’ll be back for court support next week.

Prop. 36 would lock more people up—and undermine proven solutions that break the cycle of crime and incarceration. https://t.co/eToOfIanuf

Miss Major Alexander L. Lee TGIJP Black Trans Cultural Center’s Melenie Eleneke Socio-Economic Re-Entry Program has helped FIVE transgender women get free from jail over the past month. Four of those women are Black.
