LAGAI-Queer Insurrection! w/ Deeg (Part 1)

  • Summary

  • Deeg is back for some oral history lessons about LAGAI-Queer Insurrection (formerly Lesbians And Gays Against Intervention), a radical collective that started organizing in 1983 in response to the US war machine meddling overseas.

    Some of the same members from forty years ago continue to meet, plan direct actions, and send thousands of copies of their zine UltraViolet into prisons for free, with no 501(c)3 and next to no funding. We talk: avoiding burnout and cooptation, how to measure movement successes (and why sometimes you can't), and more.

    This is Part 1 of a two-part episode.

    • UltraViolet (LAGAI's zine)
    • "How a queer liberation collective has stayed radical for almost 40 years" (Toshio in Waging Nonviolence)
    • Episode with Deeg on the Boycott of Manny's in the Mission
    • Episode with LAGAI member Kate Raphael: Queers for a Free Palestine
