We had a blast canvassing for Antonio Reynoso in Fort Greene yesterday! Looking forward to electing this progressive Brooklyn champion to Congress!

Join us tomorrow to help elect Antonio Reynoso for Congress in NY-7! volunteer.reynosoforcongress.com/antonio-reyn...

Happy Pride everyone! Happy to see our LID President @smfox.bsky.social honored as a Pride Trailblazer by City and State New York! Congrats on the well-deserved honor, Stephanie! www.cityandstateny.com/power-lists/...

Rally for Trans Lives tomorrow (Saturday, 5/16) in Washington Square Park!

"I was eventually called to testify. While her colleagues were in Albany negotiating the budget, the Party Chair and the party’s lawyer grilled me about my handwriting and how I gathered signatures. I had done nothing wrong, but I had to prove it in court to protect the voices of my neighbors."

Jason Collins died of glioblastoma today. He was a wonderful person. This is awful

🚨🚨🚨 DOJ sent a grand jury subpoena from the Northern District of Texas to NYU Langone for all patient records of trans youth. DOJ is engaged in forum and judge shopping in Texas in a blatantly unlawful bid to shut down gender affirming care in blue states. nyulangone.org/public-notic...

Glad to see LID's support of @bradlander.bsky.social highlighted in this piece! Brad will be a dedicated ally to LGBTQ+ rights and dignity in Congress and LID is proud to be one of a long list of LGBTQ+ orgs supporting his campaign. www.advocate.com/politics/ele...

Trans+ History Week 2026 is here! 🏳️‍⚧️ To the hate and headlines, our history answers loud and clear... We’ve always been here. Always will be.

Despite the downpour, we had a great time knocking on doors yesterday for Antonio Reynoso in Fort Greene! Proud to support this progressive champion for Congress in NY-07!

incredibly important story from my colleague @telliotter.bsky.social about how the FTC, of all agencies, is on a rampage against trans care providers:

Nice to end the work week with mayoral actions to support vulnerable homeowners and tenants, and a mayoral veto of a law that would have suppressed New Yorkers' right to protest. Good reminder that local elections matter!

I really can't overstate this we saw a clear and truly absurd abuse of power from the Brooklyn Democratic Party today

Very disappointing (but not surprising) to see the Brooklyn Democratic Party fighting to disenfranchise voters, demoralize grassroots activists, and keep community leaders off the ballot. Our County Party deserves inclusive leadership that works to uplift all Democrats.

Huge news: the court has entered final judgement in Oregon v Kennedy (HHS trans youth care ban) and has vacated the Kennedy declaration and permanently enjoined its enforcement to target gender clinics. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

It’s hard to express how important Iris was to ACT UP’s scientific development. She was the catalyst who started it all. Iris Long, Scientific Mentor to AIDS Activists, Dies at 92 www.nytimes.com/2026/04/17/h...

Join us on Saturday 4/25 in Fort Greene and help get Antonio Reyonso elected to Congress! www.mobilize.us/reynosoforco...

Back in February, @analiliafornj.bsky.social shook up the political world, winning the NJ-11 Special Primary Election by campaigning as a fearless champion for working families — something she’s always been. I loved knocking doors & rallying for her. Tonight, she won a seat in Congress! (1/2)

Congrats to Yanery Cruz, the new Executive Director of the City Council's LGBTQIA+ Caucus! Yanery is a powerhouse advocate for queer/trans communities across NYC -- we look forward to working with her and our City Council champions to build power, pride, and progress! gaycitynews.com/city-council...

Some of the online safety language in the state budget proposals could end up harming LGBTQ+ youth. Our friends from Equality New York explain why here -- let's keep this language out of the state budget! www.amny.com/news/op-ed-a...

Awesome to see our Board member Kellan Calder on stage with @mayor.nyc.gov announcing ways to make childcare in NYC more accessible for all New Yorkers! Thanks for all your amazing work for families across the City, Kellan! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gqfh...

Great piece on this Transgender Day of Visibility on the need for a fully-funded Lorena Borjas Trans Wellness and Equity Fund to support trans-serving orgs all over NYS! Particularly appreciate the shoutout to our 2025 LID honoree Caribbean Equality Project! www.cityandstateny.com/opinion/2026...

📣 Join us at City Hall this Thursday as we fight back against the City Council’s proposed “buffer zone” bills. Make your voice heard: Demand your representatives reject these attempts to stifle free speech.

Join us for our March endorsement meeting tonight! lidbk.com/events/march...

Great to see judicial pushback to the federal war on gender-affirming care! www.nytimes.com/2026/03/19/u...

This SATURDAY, join us with @nbkdsa.bsky.social and @lidbk.bsky.social to talk to our Bushwick neighbors about @cct4nyc.bsky.social and @juliasalazar.bsky.social's vision for a state where our communities thrive, and to help get them both on the ballot! More info: act.cct4nyc.com/petitioning-...

We had a great time marching with the Brooklyn Irish LGBTQ Organization at the Brooklyn St. Patrick's Day Parade this year! Always appreciate Ginger's hosting us afterwards -- here's to building joyful and empowered queer and trans communities everywhere!

Thrilled to see this announcement and thrilled that it happened right here in Brooklyn at @lgbtbrooklyn.bsky.social! Many congrats to Taylor Brown and very best wishes as she works to ensure NYC is a true haven for queer and trans communities.

Our NYC LGBTQIA+ community is deserving of exactly this! A dedicated office, led by a dedicated civil rights advocate, the first trans person to lead a city office 🏳️‍⚧️ So proud of the work we did during the transition to make this happen, grateful to @mayor.nyc.gov's commitment to our community ❤️

March with BILO this weekend!

Join LID for 2 upcoming endorsement meetings! We'll be meeting candidates for Congress, the State Legislature, and other offices -- join us on Zoom on Thursday, 3/19, and at DSK Brooklyn on Thursday, 3/26! More info on 1st meeting here: lidbk.com/events/march...

Great energy yesterday as we rallied to call out the despicable gender-affirming care cuts at NYU-Langone and Mt. Sinai and called on our elected officials to step up and make sure no trans young person loses access to care!

Join us today to stand up for gender-affirming care and demand action from our local leadership!

As private hospitals continue to abandon trans youth and other states get ever more cruel in their anti-trans laws, we need New York City and State to step up! Join us on Sunday!

Kansas is sending letters to trans people telling them that their licenses will be revoked as of tomorrow and that they risk arrest for driving on a suspended license. This is pure cruelty. www.erininthemorning.com/p/kansas-sen...

Shameful decision by NYU-Langone to end gender-affirming care for trans young people!

Rev. Jesse Jackson built the Rainbow Coalition as a political home rooted in dignity and solidarity. That struggle continues here in New York City, in every fight for housing, justice, and equality. Today, we lower our flags in his honor — and recommit to the movement he called us to build.

Congrats to LID's new board and new president @smfox.bsky.social ! Here's to another year of fighting back in Brooklyn!

The last block of a bike lane on Ashland Place in Downtown Brooklyn has remained unfinished for years thanks to meddling by Adams advisor Ingrid Lewis-Martin. Mayor Mamdani is expected to announce on Friday that he will complete it. nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/04/03/c...

Join us for our annual organizing meeting and the beginning of our 2026 endorsement cycle on Zoom tonight! Let's keep on building queer and trans political power and community in Brooklyn! lidbk.com/events/feb20...

This piece on how the federal government is treating trans migrants is so infuriating -- the toxic combination of Trumpist xenophobia and transphobia. We need to #AbolishICE but that's just the start -- we need a whole new system grounded in human rights and dignity. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

Join us tomorrow at Stonewall!

Appreciate this message from our new NYC City Council LGBTQIA+ Caucus Chairs (including Brooklyn's own @chiosse.bsky.social!) and @speakermenin.bsky.social -- bring the Pride flag back to Stonewall! council.nyc.gov/press/2026/0...

Join us and @repyourblock.bsky.social tonight to learn how to build power on your local Dem committee! At a time when we desperately need a more effective Democratic Party at all levels, building this infrastructure at the ground level is critical! Register here: lidbk.com/events/queer...
