Revolution Is Love: A Year of Black Trans Liberation is the
powerful and celebratory visual record of a contemporary activist
movement in New York City, and a moving testament to the enduring
power of photography in activism, advocacy, and community. In June
2020, after a Black trans woman in Missouri and a Black trans man
in Florida were killed just weeks apart, activists Qween Jean and
Joela Rivera returned to the historic Stonewall Inn-site of the
1969 riots that launched the modern gay rights movement-where they
initiated weekly actions known thereafter as the Stonewall
Protests. Brought together by the urgent need to center Black trans
and queer lives within the Black Lives Matter movement, a vibrant
and radical community emerged. Over the following year, the
Stonewall Protests brought together thousands of people across
communities and social movements to gather in solidarity,
resistance, and communion. Each Thursday was an invitation for
protests, healing, and celebration-whether through marches, voguing
balls, or vigil-and a living testament to love in revolution. This
book gathers twenty-four photographers who participated in these
actions to share images and words on the demonstrations and their
community at large, preserving this legacy as it unfolded. Through
photographs, interviews, and text, Revolution Is Love celebrates
the power of shared joy and struggle in trans community and
liberation. Featuring images and text by Ramie Ahmed, Lucy
Baptiste, Budi, Brandon English, Deb Fong, Snake Garcia, Stas
Ginzburg, Katie Godowski, Robert Hamada, Chae Kihn, Zak Krevitt,
Erica Lansner, Daniel Lehrhaupt, Caroline Mardok, Ryan McGinley,
Josh Pacheco, Jarrett Robertson, Phoenix Robles, Souls of a
Movement, Madison Swart, Cindy Trinh, Sean Waltrous, Ruvan
Wijesooriya, and David Zung
