Today is a good day to remember that the black panther party always was a proponent for queer rights and queer activists today can repay that kindness by supporting groups such as black lives matter and by working to eliminate racism in our own communities.

Also the Black Panther Party protected disabled protesters during a 23 day sit-in in 1977 that resulted in the winning of 504 regulations. Please don’t forget that.

More on the BPP’s involvement in the 504 sit-ins,the largest occupation of a federal building in history, can be found here.
