Portrait of Jforpay at Drag march For Change “We were very intentional about: ‘This is not a party, this is not for you to be drinking, playing music,’ especially if you are not Black, POC, or trans,” says Chante, the mutual aid program coordinator at Brave Space Alliance, the first Black-led, trans-led LGBTQ+ Center located on Chicago’s South Side. “This is a protest. This is a place for people to come and listen to Black people and other leaders in the community.” This quote appeared in Them. by Grace del Vecchio
