What’s Happening!
Decorate gingerbread cookies how you think they look the most fashionable! We will be making hug buttons on the 27th as well as other buttons of everyone’s choice! Sing, and dance to some ABBA! Then stay late into the night for back to back movies on December 13th and December 27th!
Topics: We will be chatting about different types of consent and what consent means to you! When you ask someone if you can hug them, it’s always important to remember to wait for their answer. Sometimes even a “hugger” might not be feeling up to a hug that day! A hi-five, wave, or thumbs up would work great!
We are ENVIROMENTALY FRIENDLY! DON’T forget to bring a re-useable water bottle. We still have pop and snacks, but no more plastic water bottles!

She's known for participating in the Stonewall Riots of 1969. https://npg.si.edu/blog/welcome-collection-sylvia-rivera Sylvia Rivera is also known for the "Ya'll Better Quiet Down" speech in New York City at the Christopher Street Liberation Day Rally in Washington Square Park in 1973 amid boos from the crowd. Rivera organized the Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries (STAR) with her friend Marsha P. Johnson. Rivera and Johnson started STAR House in order to assist the homeless in the gay community, with a focus on LGBT people of color. We fed people and clothed people. We kept the building going. We went out and hustled the streets. We paid the rent.” Though Rivera was only nineteen herself, she became like a mother to many of the residents at STAR House, and she and Johnson helped to form a home and family for those who needed it most.
