#QueersAgainstPete interrupted a Pete fundraiser in San Francisco today. We are fighting to make sure *no one* in our community is left behind. Ignoring @blmsouthbend, opposing #Medicare4all & free public college is NOT solidarity. We deserve better. 🌈 theguardian.com/us-news/2020/f…
@BLMSouthBend Queer folks across the country are taking action, pushing Buttigieg on his policies & the billionaires & corporations funding his campaign. We were proud to support our comrades in SF today. #WallStreetPete #QueersAgainstPete
@BLMSouthBend “I’m definitely proud of the fact that a gay candidate has made it thus far, but it’s hard to enjoy or appreciate when his stances are so middle of the road and speak to a predominantly white, upper class audience.” - Celi Tamayo-Lee #QueersAgainstPete theguardian.com/us-news/2020/f…
@BLMSouthBend “We need better, we deserve better. There’s a level of irony that this event costs hundreds of dollars to attend in the Mission, a historically Latinx and immigrant neighborhood. What does it say that this event is not accessible to the folks that live here?" - Adiel Pollydore
@BLMSouthBend “The people who disrupted that fundraiser were all queer people of color. We’re allowed to want the gay candidate who is running to do better and be better for queer communities of color. There’s nothing homophobic about that.” - Adiel Pollydore #QueersAgainstPete
@BLMSouthBend "This run for president could have been a really unique opportunity to lift up experiences of queer and trans folks who live at the intersection of so many systems of oppression and talk about how our safety is constantly threatened... But this campaign has not been about that.”
@BLMSouthBend “You’re coming to San Francisco, the heart of gay activism in the US. You need to actually respond to the people of San Francisco who identify as gay or queer. It’s a very fitting place to be asking him these hard questions.” - Emily Lee theguardian.com/us-news/2020/f… #QueersAgainstPete
