Gloria Steinem was a social activist and feminist icon who spent decades advocating for civil rights and equality. As a trailblazing journalist in the 1960s and 1970s, her work brought national attention to critical issues including gender-based workplace discrimination and abortion rights.

57 years ago today, queer people resisted a police raid at a gay bar in NYC. These activists bravely defended their right to exist in the face of government oppression, causing a major turning point for 2SLGBTQ+ rights. We honor Stonewall's legacy as we continue the work for liberation.
