As always, Lavender Library prioritizes psychological safety, respect, and curiosity. Whether you’re revisiting Sister Outsider or encountering it for the first time, you’re warmly invited to join us.

This gathering is designed to be discussion-forward, accessible, and gentle while making space for hard, necessary conversations. You don’t need to be an academic, a theorist, or an expert- just someone willing to listen, think, and share in community. Come ready for thoughtful conversation!

Lorde’s writing is sharp, poetic, and deeply human - asking us to examine how systems of oppression shape our lives, and how honesty, care, and self-definition can become acts of resistance. These essays invite reflection not just on the world as it is, but on how we show up for one another.

Lavender Library is a queer book club centered on thoughtful reading, deep conversation, and shared reflection. In February, we’ll be reading Sister Outsider, Audre Lorde’s essential collection of essays on identity, power, anger, silence, difference, and survival.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

Cybertopia IS happening! Our information has the snowstorm hitting predominantly AFTER our event closes. We will only cancel this event if there is a level 2 emergency or higher by 4pm tomorrow. We don't cancel for "maybe." The revolution will not be stopped. 🫶🏻

The Autonomy Project will be on break from December 22nd through January 5th. As a volunteer-run organization, rest is part of how we take care of each other. This time off gives our volunteers space to breathe, reconnect, and recharge after a full year of showing up for community.

Supportive community is where we get to practice telling the truth. Where “I’m fine” can become: “I need support,” “I’m overwhelmed,” “I’m human.” And instead of rejection, you’re met with care. Because here, you don’t have to carry it all alone. 💜

Audiences are fun for concerts. But they don’t build community. Community is alive when you participate: when you bring your energy, your presence, your creativity into the mix. That’s what makes our spaces safer, braver, and more alive.

The Autonomy Project started in a single room, with a handful of queer folks and a dream. Now we’ve hosted hundreds of events, welcomed thousands of people, and built a space where showing up as your full self is the standard, not the exception. Thanks for building it with us.

We’re not just reflecting. We’re making room. We’re staying in the work. Black liberation is queer liberation. Not just today. Always.

If you’re Black and queer, if you’re trans, if you’ve been watching from the sidelines unsure if this is for you: you don’t need to prove anything to belong here. Your voice, your joy, your grief, your leadership, and your rest matter. This space isn’t complete without you in it.

120

We know we can’t fix that with one post or one event. But we can tell the truth. We can look at spaces and ask who they’re really built for. And we can say this, directly and without conditions:

Queer and trans folks of color have shaped everything from our fashion to our language to the bones of this movement, and too often, they’re still the last ones to be centered when decisions get made.

This day holds multitudes. Celebration and sorrow. Rage and resilience. It's not clean or easy or PR-friendly. And it shouldn’t have to be. Because while the world has never stopped borrowing from Black brilliance, it still struggles to make space for Black presence. Black leadership. Black safety.

Autonomy Project @autonomyproject.org · 15/06/2025

Juneteenth isn’t just a day on the calendar. It’s a checkpoint in a struggle that never really paused. Freedom didn’t land all at once. Not in 1865, and not now. It came in fragments. With loopholes. With conditions. And for Black queer and trans folks, it’s still showing up in pieces (if at all).

We had such an amazing Pride with you all, but we unfortunately have to report that most of our photo booth props have gone missing. Namely, over $150 worth of clack fans! These were the most popular props for photos. Can you help us replace them? Venmo @AutonomyProject
