How to Celebrate the Anniversary of a Trans Legal Organization? Get

Feministing said "This is just despicable." I think that's an understatement.
From the website of the Sylvia Rivera Law Project:
On the night of Wednesday, September 26, officers from the 9th Precinct of the New York Police
Department attacked without provocation members of the Sylvia Rivera Law Project and of its
community. Two of our community members were violently arrested, and others were pepper sprayed
in the face without warning or cause.
PHB on Twitter
The Sylvia Rivera Law Project is an organization that works on behalf of low-income people of color
who are transgender, gender non-conforming, or intersex, providing free legal services and advocacy
among many other initiatives. On Wednesday night, the Sylvia Rivera Law Project was celebrating its
fifth anniversary with a celebration and fundraising event at a bar in the East Village.
Barista Tweets
A group of our community members, consisting largely of queer and transgender people of color,
witnessed two officers attempting to detain a young Black man outside of the bar. Several of our
community members asked the officers why they were making the arrest and using excessive force.
Despite the fact that our community was on the sidewalk, gathered peacefully and not obstructing foot
traffic, the NYPD chose to forcefully grab two people and arrested them. Without warning, an officer
then sprayed pepper spray across the group in a wide arc, temporarily blinding many and causing
vomiting and intense pain.

"This is the sort of all-too-common police violence and overreaction towards people of color that
happens all the time," said Dean Spade, founder of the Sylvia Rivera Law Project. "It's ironic that we
were celebrating the work of an organization that specifically opposes state violence against
marginalized communities, and we experienced a police attack at our celebration."

Irony - what a concept.
Freedom from a police state is a nice concept, too.

Pam's House Blend always

f*cks. The area of the
country she is in? The
home state of her wife? I
know, they are
everywhere. Pam just
does such a great job of
