The group that last week is hosting its own response meeting Monday night.
The group Black Queer and Intersectional Columbus is hosting the 鈥淏lackPride4-led Community Conservation.鈥�
The "" name came out of a protest at last month鈥檚 Pride Parade, where for blocking the parade route. Police say one protesters tried to disarm an officer, while protesters have disputed that claim.
The Monday meeting follows last Monday鈥檚 Stonewall protest where about 200 protesters stormed into a community meeting, took the microphone and held court for more than an hour. They were protesting what they call Stonewall鈥檚 lack of response to concerns about violence against LGBT people of color.
Dkeama Alexis says the meeting will focus on creating a system of support for LGBT people who feel ignored by Stonewall.
鈥淧eople can address questions to us and we can answer them. And that can be related to Stonewall, related to how we're going to move forward in terms of abolishing like police brutality,鈥� Alexis says.
The meeting will be held at St. Stephen's Episcopal Church and University Center, and begins at 6 p.m.
