MARCH WITH MARSHA
The First Parade Was a Riot!

Marsha wants to celebrate her birthday at the one place she and her friends can be themselves: the Stonewall Inn. When the police show up and arrest people for being there, Marsha and Sylvia know this isn’t right and decide to do something. Soon five hundred– no, a thousand others join in. Together they stand up for what is right and start a movement that continues to this day!

MARCH WITH MARSHA tells the story of two often overlooked trans activists, Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera, and their role in the Stonewall riots and early Gay Rights movement. This story uses simple language to introduce complex concepts of justice, queer liberation and civil disobedience to children 3 to 7+ years old.
