MILK has asked that we all join him THIS SATURDAY in New York for the big Voices 4 Chechnya march from Stonewall to Trump Tower. V4C is a non-violent, direct-action activist grassroots LGBTQ group that is working to resolve and assist members of our community that are being detained and persecuted in Chechnya.
From their website:
“Everyone, no matter who they are or whom they love, is entitled to live without fear. We will not stand by as the Chechen Republic orders and encourages the capture, torture, and death of its own LGBTQ+ people.”
The events would be a 30 minute rally in front of Stonewall beginning at 2PM, with speakers ranging from those in politics to some Russian gay refugees then a march to Trump Tower.
In response to the atrocities being committed against LGBTQ+ persons in Chechnya, they will be marching on Oct. 14th in New York City to raise money and demand humanitarian visas for those who have escaped persecution and are currently in hiding throughout mainland Russia. They need you to march with them! For more information on how to participate, check out the link in our bio. #Voices4Chechnya #V4C Logo by: @heyrooney
On October 14th, hundreds of New Yorkers will march from the Stonewall National Monument, the birthplace of the modern gay liberation movement, to Trump Tower (United Nations Plaza). We will demand humanitarian visas for those who’ve escaped from Chechnya, and are now hiding in safe houses in mainland Russia. The march will also raise money for RUSA LGBT, a support network for Russian-speaking LGBTQ+ individuals in America.”
