In the spirit of Bayard Rustin our queer community “spoke truth to power” to Congressional candidates @rustincenter.bsky.social We will hold them to their promises of protectin’ equality for LGBTQIA+ youth, families & seniors as our namesake also espoused “The proof that one believes is in action”!

In the spirit of Bayard Rustin, our queer community “spoke truth to power” as we shared a meaningful moment in intimate conversation connectin’ CD-12 Congressional candidates with our LGBTQIA+ youth, families, & seniors here at Bayard Rustin Center for Social Justice HQ...
Whilst no one could evah replace our Beloved Bonnie both across our great State of New Jersey as well as in the shinin’ city upon the Hill, we hope & expect to continue our strong relationship & purposeful journey with whomever will next best represent all our fab folx across that rainbow spectrum at this pivotal moment in our nation’s history. Further & more importantly, we will absolutely hold that individual to their promises of preservin’ & protectin’ equity & equality for all of us in all of our beautifully diverse communities… As our inspirational namesake also espoused, “The proof that one believes is in action”!
To be crystal, our Center is indeed a non-profit so we do not ever endorse nor support any one candidate in any race, we just ask you to consider who will be best serve our community & who will amplify YOUR voice as we all deserve to to be seen & heard & recognized & respected!
