Protesting WalkAway Event
Jay W. Walker signed an open letter[2] to The LGBT Center in New York City dated March 21 2019 demanding that they "cancel" a "#WalkAway" event scheduled for March 28th "immediately."
Excerpt:
- "The Center must not cede an inch of space to those who question the validity of trans and non-binary identities, peddle in Islamophobic conspiracy theories, or stoke the fires of anti-Blackness. At a time when right-wing attacks on all our communities are on the rise both in the halls of power and in the streets, facilitating this event endangers the very people The Center claims to serve, and disrespects the lives and legacies of LGBTQIATS+ people throughout history that struggled and died for our right to live with dignity. The Center should not allow its legitimacy as an institution be cynically co-opted by a group that shares none of its principles or goals.
- "Please see the link below for detailed documentation of their transphobic, Islamophobic, anti-feminist, and racist hate speech. Recent history from Christchurch to Charlottesville shows that giving a platform to such peddlers of hate empowers self-described white supremacists, sexists, transphobes, and homophobes, and encourages them to escalate their activity from hateful speech to physical violence against our communities."

Anti-Fascism Event
Outlive Them NYC shared an event titled "Everyday Antifascism: History and Practice" on Facebook scheduled for March 19 2019.
From their Facebook invitation:[3]
- "Fascism is not to be debated - it is to be defeated. Join us March 30th for Everyday Antifascism: History and Practice, a day of workshops on antifascist resistance movements past and present, strategies for success, and practical skill-sharing. Along with Queens DSA, Metropolitan Anarchist Coordinating Council - MACC, Red Bloom: A Communist Collective, NYC Socialist Feminists, and members of Boston DSA, we'll build up our shared knowledge and learn some of the skills needed to defeat the far-right, neo-Nazis, white nationalists, and fascists of our day."
