“Trans people have been here since the beginning of time,” said Tanya Asapansa-Johnson Walker, a prominent trans activist who spoke at the protest. “We fought in all the wars. We’re creators. We have families and children. We’re just as much a part of this world as anyone else. We’re here to stay, and we will not be erased by a Christo-fascist, neo-Nazi administration.”

🚨 This weekend, New Yorkers gathered in Washington Square Park to protest a disturbing overreach by Trump’s Department of Justice: a subpoena targeting NYU Langone for the medical records of minors who received gender-affirming care.

Washington Square Park isn’t just a place for picnics—it’s one of the city’s most central spaces for public protest. But it’s also surrounded by buildings and land owned by NYU. If the City Council overrides Mayor Mamdani’s veto of Intro 175-B, spaces like this could effectively become off-limits for protest. Intro 175-B would create sweeping “no-speech zones” around any public or private educational facility, effectively outlawing protest in huge swaths of the city. And we’ve already seen how far the NYPD is willing to go to restrict speech: just two weeks ago, officers blocked off more than six city blocks—including part of a subway entrance—to shut down a protest.

This so-called “buffer zone” bill cannot be allowed to go into effect. Use our link in bio to tell City Council to hold the line and say NO to buffer zones in NYC.

We’re headed to New York Tech Week! 🎉

Join Equality New York and Woodhull Freedom Foundation on Wednesday, June 3 at Stonewall National Monument Visitor Center to learn about New York State’s opportunity to become a privacy-defending champion!

In a world where our lives are increasingly lived online and subject to surveillance, the ability to control our personal information, relationships, and identities is essential to protecting our freedom and well-being.

Right now, a coalition of civil rights groups is working to strengthen privacy protections in the New York State Constitution, and the stakes for LGBTQ+ communities couldn’t be higher.

Samantha Cole of @404mediaco will moderate a discussion with advocates and experts to learn what’s driving this proposed amendment, how it could safeguard LGBTQ+ people across the state, and what it means for the future of our rights.

Event details:
📆 June 3 at 7 pm
📍 Stonewall National Monument Visitor Center, 51 Christopher St, Manhattan, New York City

Free to attend, RSVP at 🔗 in bio!

Calling all LGBTQ+ activists and allies! Join us on Sunday, June 7, 2026 from 5:00-7:00PM to support @ryderfornewyork one of our Equality & Equity Candidates!

We rallied today to tell NYU Langone they must fight back against the federal subpoena demanding records about youth who received gender affirming care and their providers.

We won’t accept any more anticipatory obedience to authoritarianism—and we won’t accept any more attacks on our communities 🏳️‍⚧️

Today I went to the New York statehouse to lobby for Cecilia’s Act in coalition with @oldprosonline @decrimny @decrimsexwork @equalitynewyork @maketheroadny @woodhullfreedom @theishtarcollective and many others 🤍 Cecilia’s Act would decriminalize s3x work in New York. Named for Cecilia Gentili, activist, mother of the movement, icon, who shaped this law and dedicated her life to the community and movement.

Tag your elected officials to let them know their constituents support us 🌻

The next lobby day is May 20th with @ashnewyorkstate Coalition, fighting for harm reduction. If you’re in New York and want to come find more info at @ashnewyorkstate.
