Audre Lorde Project

🚨📢Political Education Meeting Update 🚨📢
Today’s political education meeting is postponed. We’ll share updates on the rescheduled date soon. We sincerely apologize for any confusion or inconvenience this has caused!

This Women’s History Month, we are honoring the lineage of strength, resilience, and joy that defines our community.

The faces above represent a powerful intergenerational gathering of Black and Brown women, trans women, and gender-nonconforming leaders. From the legendary ancestors who paved the way—like Sylvia, Audre, and Catiria—to the vibrant icons leading us today—like Laverne, TS, and Bamby—this grid is a testament to the brilliance of our people.
We hold tight to the words of our namesake, Audre Lorde: "I am not free while any woman is unfree, even when her shackles are very different from my own."

This truth is the heartbeat of our work. At The Audre Lorde Project, we know that our freedoms are bound together. We fight for a world where every woman, especially trans women of color, is free to live, love, and thrive without fear.

To the women in these photos and the countless women in our community: We see you, we celebrate you, and we are fighting for you.

The Audre Lorde Project's Response Team is growing,and we want YOU.
We're building a community-based care collective rooted in mutual aid, peer support, and abolitionist values. No cops, no hospitals, just grounded, non-carceral care built on listening, resourcing, and showing up for each other.

💙 No professional credentials needed.
💙 Commitment: ~5–10 hrs/month of peer support.

In the spirit of Audre Lorde, join us for a Freedom Zine workshop as part of our annual Audre Lorde Birthday Celebration, honoring the radical tradition of Black literacy and political education.

What to Expect:
This workshop asks you to investigate your relationship with writing and explore your social and political identities. We explore the writing workshop as a communal, mobile literacy site, embodying the historically ambulatory nature of Black literacies in the mid-20th-century American South. You will be introduced to the pedagogical and political legacies of Freedom Schools in the Sea Islands and rural Mississippi, crafting writing that speaks directly to that legacy.

Facilitated by: Chy Sprauve (She/They), Assistant Professor at CUNY and scholar in Composition-Rhetoric.

🗓 Feb 21st | 3:00 PM - 7:00 PM
📍 Location shared upon RSVP
🎟 RSVP Required! Tap the link in our bio or visit alp.org/bday! We cannot wait to see you there!

Today would have been Audre Lorde's 92nd birthday. In our current political climate, her words cut deeper than ever: "The master's tools will never dismantle the master's house." True liberation demands we build our own paths, our own tables, our own futures, rather than relying on systems designed to suppress our movements for change.

Join us in honoring her revolutionary spirit at our birthday celebration on February 21st. Let's gather to reflect, resist, and reimagine, together
✨ RSVP today via the link in our bio. We hope to see you there.

Black q***r history IS Black history, 100 years of it, staring back at us in these faces.
They tried to bury the foundation, but here’s the truth: Lorde, Bentley, Rustin, Johnson, DeLarverie, Hansberry, and every name in this grid are Black history.
Your resistance planted the seeds we stand on.
Thank you to the ancestors who refused erasure.
Happy Black History Month!
