Stop the silencing at the NYC LGBT Center

The NYC LGBT Center has imposed a ban on Palestine solidarity activists from meeting at the Center and has instituted a "moratorium" on any discussion on the Israeli occupation. This Saturday, March 3, NYC Queers Against Israeli Apartheid will "occupy the Center" in symbolic protest. Stand in solidarity with them. Help us send 1,000 letters by Saturday March 3. The Center has been bullied by wealthy donors to adopt this position. Tell the Center's backers that we will stand with the Center against the bullies, but only if the Center stops its censorship policy.

Fill out the form below to send your letter to Glennda Testone, Executive Director of the NYC GLBT Center. We will also send a copy to Christine Quinn, the NY City Council Speaker who happens to be queer and who represents the district where the Center is located. We will send a separate copy to Troy Masters, the Associate Publisher of Gay City News, New York City's LGBT paper.

When some 60 leading Israeli actors and playwrights signed a letter stating they would refuse to play in the new theatre in Ariel, one of Israel's largest settlements, the attacks from Prime Minister Netanyahu, Israel's Minister of Culture and Sport and many others were swift and intense. Over 150 leading Israeli academics and writers- including Amos Oz and David Grossman- came to their defense.
