Compton's Cafeteria Riot Celebration

Hosted by the TurkxTaylor initiative & Tenderloin Museum

Saturday, August 26th | 7:00-9:00 pm 

At Aunt Charlie's | 133 Turk St. SF, CA 94102

Free* | Email info@turkxtaylor.com to RSVP

Join us to commemorate the Compton's Cafeteria Riot of 1966, a landmark event where the queer and trans community rose against police brutality, years before the Stonewall Riot. As we gather at Aunt Charlie’s — the last queer bar in the Tenderloin — we'll celebrate this legendary event, keeping in mind the historic site is currently operated as a halfway house by a private prison corporation. 

Weather permitting, projection activist Alan Marling will shine messages on the Turk and Taylor building.

Let’s come together to envision ways to liberate the building and reimagine a more just future for the historic site.

*Feel free to stay for The Hot Boxxx Girls drag show at 10 pm ($5 cover)

Hosted by the Tenderloin Museum and the TurkxTaylor Initiative.
