Easter in the Park is a beloved annual event hosted by the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence at San Francisco’s Mission Dolores Park. Each year, thousands of Bay Area queer, trans, and allied folx gather for a day of music, performance art, and irreverent fun.

Hosted by emcees Sister Roma, Peaches Christ, and Honey Mahogany the celebration features live entertainment, drag artists, miracles and Sisterly mischief.

The Wandering Officer: New Databases and Police Accountability
The Wandering Officer: New Databases and Police Accountability
From the Anti Police-Terror Project: Modern law enforcement in the US have long been shielded from transparency and accountability when they abuse their powers to terrorize or kill the people they're sworn to protect. When California passed and strengthened the 2018 “Right to Know Act”, journalists and data scientists came together to provide the public the right to see records from nearly 700 law enforcement agencies from city police and county sheriffs to California highway patrol and district attorneys--stripping away decades of secrecy surrounding serious uses of force, officer-involved shootings, and law enforcement misconduct.
Find out more about the Police Records Access Project, what the new statewide database of police misconduct and use-of-force records contains, and how it’s related to a new law creating the possibility to decertify officers with histories of abuse.
Guest Speakers include:
Uncle Bobby X: activist and community organizer, and advisory member of the POST Accountability Advisory Board that makes decertification recommendations
Jack Glaser: UC Berkeley professor of Public Policy and advisory member of the POST Accountability Advisory Board
Cat Brooks: activist, community organizer, artist and co-founder of the Anti Police-Terror Project
Amanda Majail-Blanco: student, youth organizer, and family liaision of Alternatives in Action supporting systems' impacted families in Oakland and the Bay Area

At a time of extreme political attacks on queer, trans, immigrant, and BIPOC community members, we have been looking for a space to meet local activists, share resources, strategize, and take action.
If you share this feeling, please join us on Wednesday, October 29th, at ABO Comix in downtown Oakland to discuss the needs of our community, strategize ways to support one-another, and plan for a monthly mutual aid gathering.
This event is open to everyone of all ages, experiences, identities, etc—If you don’t know much about mutual aid, or you’re an expert, it doesn’t matter! We want to meet you!
We will have drinks, snacks, and time to socialize and meet folks from 5:30-6pm. RSVP below if you’re planning on attending.

Become a Gender Advocate (Peer Counselor) with TACT
Become a Gender Advocate (Peer Counselor) with TACT
Under TACT (Trans Advocacy and Care Team), Gender Advocates are trans and nonbinary volunteers who provide free and sliding scale 1-on-1 peer counseling to other trans and nonbinary people. They employ strong active listening skills and center the lived experiences of the individuals who they support. Gender Advocates provide compassionate listening, affirmative guidance, and supportive resources with the ultimate goal of helping other trans and non-binary folks to thrive. Great opportunity for folx who are becoming a therapist, counselor, or community organizer. Also open to folx interested in the mental health, social justice, and community organizing space.
They are kicking off their new volunteer Gender Advocate cohort training on Tuesday, September 30th, from 4:30 - 7pm PST / 7:30 - 10pm EST.
This is a 10-week training (1.5hr/week commitment) to equip Gender Advocates with the essential skills and resources needed to successfully provide trans and nonbinary folx with the gender-affirming support they need. After the training, Gender Advocates can expect to hold their own 1-on-1 peer counseling sessions with peers that match their unique stories, background, and experience (carefully matched by our TACT Programs Manager). Throughout this whole experience, Gender Advocates will report and have our TACT Programs Manager as a mentor for ongoing, weekly support.
