'🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈 QUEER RESISTANCE IS GLOBAL: SOLIDARITY WITH LGBTQ+ COMMUNITIES IN TURKEY
In Turkey, the palace regime is targeting LGBTQ+ existence—shutting down NGOs, censoring digital community spaces, and raiding the social and public places where LGBTQ+ gather. State-sponsored hate will never destroy our collective power or our right to exist.
We are taking to the streets to raise our voices against systemic oppression and to build solidarity with those resisting in Turkey. No one is free until we are all free!
🗓️ When: Friday, September 18th at 16:00
📍 Where: Museumplein, Amsterdam (In front of the Turkish Consulate)'
