It’s time to get hot queers, ‘cause the summer heat is rising. On the 41st anniversary of the Stonewall Riots. The worlds 20 richest states will be meeting in Toronto to discuss their plans of maintaining this capitalist, straight society .                 The June 27th-30th, 1969 insurgency of queers and trannies, now know as the Stonewall Riots, saw similar resistance movements rising in Toronto in opposition to raids on bath houses by the police. Queers responded by taking space and disrputing traffic and the economy to show both grassroots resistance and their pride. These are the roots of the modern day pride parades celebrated across Turtle Island. (North America)                 Most recently, pride has forgotten these roots when they agreed to move pride from Stonewall’s anniversary to make space for the G20.                 The police and the sate need to be reminded that our elders didn’t ask to celebrate their pride. They took it, and we will too!                 Stonewall saw queers fighting the police, tooth and dazzling nails, ‘cause queers are fierce when you fuck with them. It’s our turn to take a note from our elders and show them what we are proud of.                 This is a call for queers and our allies to step it up and support our revolutionary struggles and to celebrate our pride in our history.                 June 27th-30th plan actions, displays of revolutionary solidarity, and/or plan fundraising dance parties/sex parties to support our queer prisoner support/prisoner abolition projects, legal defence funds and to establish queer war chests(i.e. save funds for later) to further our struggle.                 This solidarity is welcome in the lead up to the anniversary of Stonewall, as well as, in conjuction with us in the streets.                 Please read this call for solidarity at your events and share your stories/actions widely
