Our S.P.O.T. (SAFE PLACE to ORGANIZE TOGETHER)
How dope would it be to have an LGBT youth center at the pier? Youth counseling, peer mentoring, health services, visual and performance arts space, job training, educational classes - sounds pretty hot, right? If you think it's time to have a center at the pier for LGBT youth, get down with FIERCE and fight for one. Real change can only happen through people power!
SAFE SPACE SAVES LIVES
Wonder why the bathrooms close at the Christopher St. Pier so much earlier than the actual pier does? So does FIERCE. Last year our members fought hard to keep the curfew on the pier extended to 1:00am instead of 10:00pm. We won. We also fought for the bathrooms to stay open longer, and for more affrodable food options at the pier. We are still fighting for these basic things. We need ALL LGBT YOUTH OF COLOR to be in this fight with us. Whose pier? OUR PIER!

FIERCE is a membership-based organization building the leadership and power of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) youth of color in New York City. We develop politically conscious leaders who are invested in improving ourselves and our communities through youth-led campaigns, leadership development programs, and cultural expression through arts and media. FIERCE is dedicated to cultivating the next generation of social justice movement leaders who are dedicated to ending all forms of oppression.
