At the same time, several extremist Republican lawmakers are leading increasing attacks on the LGBTQ+ community.<br><br>To make matters even worse, the same Republican lawmakers who are pushing dehumanizing anti-LGBTQ+ bills under the guise of protecting children are also weakening gun laws and blocking gun safety bills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PANELISTS<br><br>&#8211;Discussion led by Angela Ferrell-Zabala of Moms Demand Action<br><br>&#8211;Rep.

We have invited Park Station Captain Jack Hart, Police Commissioner Max Carter-Oberstone, and Melissa Hernandez, Legislative Aide to the District 5 Office, to discuss use of police funding and related issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The lessons learned here was that the best policing was &#8220;community policing&#8221;, with local cops walking local beats. A true sense of &#8220;security&#8221; comes from an organized community jointly addressing its own problems as defined by the community itself. As Mayor London Breed continues to call for increased policing and police funding, we must instead be prioritizing the needs of neighborhoods and fighting for policies that do not criminalize San Francisco residents and our neighbors. We need to be advocating for police accountability, community control of what safety means and looks like, and investment in alternatives to policing such as the CART program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information:&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hanc-sf.org\/\">http:\/\/www.hanc-sf.org<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Info:&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.indybay.org\/newsitems\/2023\/05\/29\/18856385.php?sender_ctype=email&amp;sender_campaign=bWKmYE&amp;sender_customer=767yYZQ\">Policing in Our Neighborhood and Citywide : Indybay<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Friday, June 9&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3.

During this 60-year ban, gays and lesbians who did join the Communist Party were deeply closeted within it, as well as in their public lives as both queer and Communist.<br><br>By the late 1930s, the Communist Party had a membership approaching 100,000 and tens of thousands more people moved in its orbit through the Popular Front against fascism, anti-racist organizing, especially in the south, and its widely read cultural magazine, The New Masses.<br><br>Based on a decade of archival research, correspondence, and interviews, Bettina Aptheker explores this history in her book Communists in Closets: Queering the History 1930s\u20131990s, also pulling from her own experience as a closeted lesbian in the Communist Party in the 1960s and \u201870s. Ironically, and in spite of this homophobia, individual Communists laid some of the political and theoretical foundations for lesbian and gay liberation and women\u2019s liberation, and contributed significantly to peace, social justice, civil rights, and Black and Latinx liberation movements.<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>Bettina Aptheker is Distinguished Professor Emerita, Feminist Studies, University of California, Santa Cruz where she taught for more than 40 years. An activist-scholar she co-led the Free Speech Movement at UC Berkeley in 1964, and the National Student Mobilization Committee to End the War in Vietnam. She played a leading role in the international movement to Free Angela Davis. Bettina was a member of the Communist Party from 1962-1981 and has been part of the LGBT movement since the late 1970s.
