Sharing artist/activist Micah Bazant's amazing portrait of trans activist Marsha P. Johnson who was one of the leaders of the Stonewall uprising in 1969. "No Pride for Some of Us without Liberation for All of Us. We honor her legacy by supporting Trans Women of Color to LIVE + LEAD."
From Micah Bazant's website: This piece was created during Pride 2013, when almost no one remembered Marsha P. Johnson, one of the mothers of the trans and queer liberation movement. I created it as a celebration of her life and legacy, and an expression of rage at the white supremacist corporate appropriation of Pride. This poster was inspired by the research of Tourmaline, who first popularized Marsha’s legacy for new generations. To learn more about Marsha, watch Pay It No Mind - The Life and Times of Marsha P. Johnson. This image is based on a photo by Marsha's friend, Randy Wicker, with permission. The phrase "No Pride For Some of Us Without Liberation For All of Us" was originally written by me, but has become globally attributed to Marsha. This attribution has made it much more meaningful and powerful for trans and queer communities, and I am happy for her to receive credit for it. I am unendingly grateful for all Marsha gave us, and for the countless other warriors who sacrificed their lives to create space for trans existence.
