Summary
What was STAR, and why does its legacy still matter today? In this episode, we dive into the history of Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries (STAR), the radical organization founded by Sylvia Rivera and Marsha P. Johnson. We trace STAR's origins, its mutual aid and housing programs, and its role in the broader struggle for queer and trans liberation. We also examine the realities of state repression, discuss current conditions facing LGBTQ+ communities, and reflect on what organizers today can learn from STAR's vision of collective care and survival.
