We held another pop up cafe at my house this weekend. I love hosting these.
We combined forces with mi cuñade and their LGBTQ+ youth of color org, Fortaleza Familiar.
Mileiydi made arroz trifacico and ensalada de pollo. Alice, a Venezuelan trans woman with Fortaleza, made flan.
Like the #50501movement protest I went to, it was a beautiful convergence of queer, trans and immigrant communities.
@clayton so happy to be able to join you and the great people you work with. We shouldn't underappreciate the power of this kind of molecular, person to person, commensal solidarity. As Brecht said, the compassion of the oppressed for the oppressed is the world's one hope.
