The CCE acknowledges and celebrates the trans women of colour — Sylvia Rivera & Marsha P. Johnson — who began the Stonewall protests in New York City in 1969. Last year, we screened the short films “Happy Birthday Marsha”, and “Haus” at the CCE’s Pride Party.
This year, we will be celebrating with virtual events:
June 14th: Behind the Screen – Capernaum
June 21st: Behind the Screen – Queering the Script
These events are free but donations in support of The 519 can be made when you sign up.
