America, with your help, will work to create a safer space for strengthening affinity groups, sharing projects and discussing the topics we care to organize around, promote collaboration, solidarity and build our collective potential. America, with your help, will work to create a safer space for strengthening affinity groups, sharing projects and discussing the topics we care to organize around, promote collaboration, solidarity and build our collective potential as an organizing force. has many different organizing projects and people who care about pressing issues, with many of these projects focusing on very particular areas of expertise, and rightfully so. But, we believe to effectively confront the growing threat of the extreme right, which seeks to destroy countless people, natural spaces and resources, etc, a united front is needed. Rather than create a new hierarchical centralized organization to perpetuate this work we seek to generate an inclusive framework that allows for a multiplicity of political perspectives and forms of organizations to take autonomous actions while having access to one another to better coordinate and gain needed resources so as to engender the formulation of the various projects and programs that must be created to continue the fight against the destruction of our communities and the lack of support systems available to our marginalized brother, sisters, mothers, fathers, and friends. To use this structure as an incubator for organizing, and to assist the already developing and ongoing groups, meeting and actions that seek to defend us and our communities. We believe that together we have the power to influence what happens next for our communities and our planet. Another world is possible if we come together and organize relentlessly, compassionately, and fiercely. As each Disrupt! group for locations across the country are rolled out they will be posted on Disrupt! America. Organisers, if you would like your own Disrupt! group and page for your city/town please DM me or email [email protected]

On this day, 14 October 1977, anti-gay crusader Anita Bryant was "pied" in the face by Thom Higgins, a gay rights activist.
Bryant, who was already well-known as a singer, led Save Our Children, a homophobic campaigning group which successfully overturned legal protections for LGBT+ people in Dade County, Florida.
Bryant had declared about homosexuality: "I will lead such a crusade to stop it as this country has not seen before."
After being pied, Bryant burst into tears and began praying.
Bryant was also brand ambassador for Florida orange juice, which then became subjected to a mass boycott campaign. Gay bars replaced screwdrivers (vodka and orange juice cocktails) with "Anita Bryants" – made with vodka and apple juice, with the profits donated to the campaign.
Bryant's lucrative orange contract subsequently lapsed and her marriage failed, which caused her to be ostracised by some Christian fundamentalists who did not approve of her divorce.
Later in life, Bryant's homophobic views softened, and she stated she was "more inclined to say live and let live". In 1998, Dade County reintroduced legal protections for LGBT+ people, and efforts by Christian groups to overturn them failed.
