jan 1, 1970 - STAR

Description:

In 1970, Sylvia came to Marsha with an idea. She wanted to protect the young transpeople who were living on the street by giving them a place where they could feel safe and where they could sleep. So they formed the Street Transvestite Activist Revolutionaries (STAR). The first STAR "House" was in the back of an abandoned truck but sadly their plan got ruined because it turns out the truck was not abandoned. After that they rented abuilding in ruins with no electricity or water. They fixed the building like they could and paid rent for eight months but at the end they ran out of money so they wre kicked out but the impact of STAR had already been felt by many.
