Combating Street and Police Violence in NEW YORK

The Audre Lorde Project (ALP) is the nation's only community organizing center led by and for lesbian, gay, bisexual, two-spirit, transgender and gender-non-conforming communities of color. ALP's Safe Outside the System works outside of the existing judicial/policing system, offering community accountability as an alternative to increased police presence and harsher sentencing. Named for poet and activist, Audre Lorde, ALP also mobilizes communities around issues of transgender employment, immigrant rights, and HIV/AIDS. www.alp.org
