A decade before Stonewall and 3000 miles across the country, one of the first LGBT uprisings against the police happened right here in Los Angeles. Commemorating the 60th anniversary of 1959’s Cooper Donuts Riot, NO CRUISING is a multi-day event of skill shares, sound walks, performances, installations, and discussions exploring queer histories and strategies of resistance to the carceral state. NO CRUISING is an antidote to state-sanctioned Pride celebrations, raising awareness around the ongoing policing of queers – especially people of color, trans and non-binary people, and sex workers.
