AGAINST PRIDE MONTH DURING A FUCKING GENOCIDE MANIFESTO

AGAINST PRIDE MONTH DURING A FUCKING GENOCIDE MANIFESTO is a urgent text asking all queer + trans + non-binary people during pride month to protest more than we party to be in solidarity with Palestinians. This manifesto will be messy, imperfect, but hopefully deeply human in its attempt to inspire you to live up to the ideals that Pride Month originally stood for: a riot against injustice.

This text was produced urgently to highlight the importance of inspiring fellow queer individuals to take action this Pride Month. In just one week, this text was written, designed, and published, showing the urgency of getting this information. As a disabled person, publishing is fundamental to how I protest.

From the Manifesto: 

“Pride in the context of the ongoing genocide of Palestinians, of the thousands and thousands of children killed, is in horrifying contrast to the image of queer people celebrating their spot at the table. It’s more than tone deaf, it feels violent. Especially with the ongoing attacks on trans folks here in the United States and around the world. WHAT THE FUCK are you celebrating? Your survival? Your access? Your wealth? Your freedom?”

I would love to distribute all 300 copies of this book before the end of June to raise as much funding as possible to inspire you to act to stop the genocide unfolding.

50% of all sales will be split between Palestine Children's Relief Fund + Heal Palestine

To encourage as many people as possible, this handmade 64-page book will be available for as little as $10 per copy. The more you pay, the more is donated, and more goes towards recouping my investment in the book and providing myself with a living wage. To also ensure the free flow of information, a PDF copy will be available free of charge to all low-income queer, trans, and non-binary individuals. A PDF copy can also be purchased on a sliding scale.
