Long Island DSA recognizes and remembers the Stonewall Riots. On June 28, 1969, queer people fought back against a police raid at the Stonewall Inn, igniting a movement for LGBTQ+ liberation. One year later, the first Pride marches honored their resistance.
Today marks the anniversary of Obergefell v. Hodges, affirming the fundamental right of same-sex couples to marry. As LGBTQ+ rights face renewed attacks on Long Island and across the country, Long Island DSA remains committed to the fight for liberation, equality, and justice.

Ricardo Arévalo, known as “Chelito,” was detained by ICE in Copiague, NY, while on his way to work. A hardworking father should be home with his newborn, not separated from his family. Help him fight for his freedom: BIT.LY/FREECHELITO

Long Island DSA celebrates LGBTQ Families Day 🌈 LGBTQ+ families come in many forms, but all deserve safety, dignity, and the freedom to thrive. Today and every day, we stand with LGBTQ+ families, defend trans kids, and support the fight to abolish ICE.
Republicans are advancing H.R. 7661, a bill that could affect millions of kids by restricting access to books addressing topics such as LGBTQ+ identities, puberty, and sex. Here are a few books loved by chapter members that could be affected if this legislation becomes law.
Join us this June for meetings of our Healthcare Equity Working Group, where we’ll be discussing the New York Health Act and other key issues affecting our communities. Join this working group (or any of our others) by becoming a member of LIDSA: bit.ly/lidsajoin
LIRR workers stood strong, and their solidarity delivered results. This agreement is a victory for all working people across Long Island. We’re proud to have stood in solidarity on the picket line and remain committed to building worker power at home.
Join us for our second annual Pride Picnic 🌈 LIDSA invites everyone to celebrate queer & trans liberation—solidarity, not rainbow capitalism. 📅 6/20, 2 PM 📍 Eisenhower Park (Black Pine Picnic Area & Field 5) Enjoy free food, swaps & more! RSVP: lidsa.org/PRIDE
Autism exists in every community, but access to care does not. Black and Latinx children are too often overlooked or misdiagnosed due to systemic racism in healthcare. Acceptance means fighting for equitable care and a world where healthcare is a right, not a privilege.
The People’s Food Forest is a half-acre community garden in Brentwood growing free, healthy, organic food for all. We’re raising funds for a new shed in honor of Mariana, who founded and loved this space. All food grown goes to community fridges. Donate: bit.ly/pffmari
Long Island DSA is deeply saddened to announce the passing of our dear friend and co-chair of the Healthcare Equity Working Group, Mariana Pineda.

Iranians report they can’t go outside because the air is filled with pollutants. Capitalism’s drive for profit and imperialist control fuels resource extraction, pollution, and climate destruction. Profit, empire, and conflict together threaten both people and the planet.
🚨 EMERGENCY PROTEST TODAY 🚨 The U.S. is increasing imperialist aggression in Iran, and we refuse to stay silent. 🗓️ TODAY ⏰ 2 PM 📍 Theodore Roosevelt Executive and Legislative Building (1550 Franklin Ave, Mineola, NY 11501)
