Day of Art & Action: Honoring the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia

Fulton v. Philadelphia Virtual Town Hall
On November 4, 2020, the U. S. Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in Fulton v. Philadelphia. Fulton, on its surface, is about whether a private foster care agency that receives public funds can use their religious beliefs to justify not serving LGBTQ+ people. But if the court rules in favor of a right to discriminate, it could allow any private agency that receives taxpayer funding to provide government services—such as food banks and homeless shelters—to deny services to anyone they disapprove of, including people who are LGBTQ+, Jewish, Muslim, and more.

March on Washington 2020
57 years ago, Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., A. Philip Randolph, and Bayard Rustin organized the historic March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. 63 years later, tens of thousands of people once again gathered at the Lincoln Memorial to call for an end to white supremacist violence. However, the 2020 March on Washington failed to meaningfully recognize the plight of Black LGBT people. We at CEP want to hold every organizer and activist accountable, for a commitment to recognizing that ALL BLACK LIVES MATTER.

The Polity and Politics of Belonging: A Conversation with the Rev. Deon K. Johnson

Johnson.” When consecrated, Bishop-elect Johnson will not only be our youngest bishop, but will also be the first openly gay and Caribbean-born Bishop in the Episcopal Church. The Q&A style conversation will take place via Zoom.

Building LGBTQ+ Activism Panel—NYC Pride's Human Rights Conference 2019
Despite great strides to advocate for LGBTQ+ rights, queer/trans-Caribbeans of color continue to be policed and cast as “invisible” and “inauthentic” citizens in the region. Heteronormative logics situate how queer Caribbeans’ struggle to negotiate their identities, struggling to be seen as “proper” Caribbean subjects. This panel will offer a discussion of the critical LGBTQ+ political alliances and solidarity work being performed within, between, and across the Caribbean region and its diasporas, exploring important coalition-building efforts to bring about much-needed social change.

Stonewall 50: Celebrating the LGBTQ+ Civil Rights Movements in Queens

A full schedule of events can be found here. All bodies, ages, and allies welcome!

The gathering will be centered around prayer, puja, kirtan, meditation and discussion.
