⁕ Wheel-chair ramp ⁕

FILM DESCRIPTION:

When Stonewall Veteran and beloved Greenwich Village personality Marsha P Johnson turned up dead shortly after Gay Pride in 1992, it was the latest in a series of murders, gay bashings, and "mysterious" deaths in the local gay community. Johnson is seen in footage at a political march shortly before this, at an action trying to draw attention to these hate crimes. Tragically, Johnson then becomes the next victim. Like the other suspicious deaths, Johnson's death is quickly dismissed as a "suicide", even though there is no evidence that Johnson was suicidal, and significant evidence that Johnson was harassed and stalked on that very night. Demonstrations are held to protest the lack of police investigation, but it is not until decades later that transgender crime advocate Victoria Cruz succeeds in getting some answers.

Join us, February 8th, 6PM - 8:30 PM for a FREE viewing of “Our Dance of Revolution,” a film about the untold history of Toronto’s Black queer community over the span of four decades!

⁕ Wheel-chair ramp ⁕ All-gender washrooms ⁕

FILM DESCRIPTION:

This untold history of Toronto's Black queer community spans four decades of passionate activist rebellion. Refusing to be silenced and raging with love, the featured trailblazers demanded a city where they could all live their truths free from the threat of violence. In the spaces they found for loud laughter and sweaty block parties, they also found themselves. Each bit of revolutionary ground was gained collaboratively, whether protesting police brutality, forming feminist collectives or making room for grief and healing in the wake of the HIV/AIDS pandemic. Their transformative creativity and visionary organizing made Toronto more livable for generations to follow. Our Dance of Revolution celebrates the living legends among us by unearthing what has been made invisible.

Join us, January 15th at 6:30 PM to connect and chill over boardgames after the hustle and bustle (and often stress of the holidays), its nice to take time to sit back and relax and connect with friends new and old!
