From the zine Out of the Closets and Into the Libraries: a collection of radical queer moments. Transoralhistory.com

[image description: a page with an image at the top showing a 1950s-style illustration of a woman holding a bomb. It says “The Lesbian Avengers. We recruit.” The text below it reads, “The Lesbian Avengers was originally founded in New York in 1992 by a group of lesbian activists from ACT-UP. The purpose of the group is to identify and promote lesbian issues and perspectives while empowering lesbian to become experienced organizers who can participate in political rebellion. The Avengers are inclusive and work with and for women of all colors and classes; bisexual, heterosexual, and queer women; and trans and intersex folks. Emphasis is placed highly on turning energy into action, and using that energy constructively against heterosexist, homophobic, heteronormative, classist, racist, sexist, and generally oppressive forces and institutions in society and our own community. They are about fifty-five Lesbian Avenger chapters, five of them international. There is no national organization or structure, and each chapter is locally funded and operated. Each chapter of the Lesbian Avengers works in collaboration on major events like the annual Dyke March and larger, national protests, as well as in coalition with other progressive groups in their communities. Turn energy into action. “Be the bomb you throw.”]
