25 years ago today, FDNY firefighter and 9/11 first responder Kevin Shea ran toward danger and survived the South Tower’s collapse. Today, he is a beloved LIDSA member. We stand with Kevin and believe Riverhead Councilwoman Joann Waski owes him an apology for her vile comments.

Long Island DSA recognizes and remembers the Stonewall Riots. On June 28, 1969, queer people fought back against a police raid at the Stonewall Inn, igniting a movement for LGBTQ+ liberation. One year later, the first Pride marches honored their resistance.

LIDSA celebrates Juneteenth—today and every day. As hate crimes rise and police violence persists, we can’t rely on the government to deliver justice. Fulfilling Juneteenth’s promise means building a multiracial, multigender movement for real freedom. bit.ly/lidsajoin

Republicans are advancing H.R. 7661, a bill that could affect millions of kids by restricting access to books addressing topics such as LGBTQ+ identities, puberty, and sex. Here are a few books loved by chapter members that could be affected if this legislation becomes law.
