Dyke Marches

The Lesbian Avengers were a direct action group that organized the first ever Dyke March in New York City held on June 26th, 1993, with the theme ‘Lesbians Lust for Power.’ The organization encouraged attendees to “practice the art of mass seduction as we lick, squirm, fondle, moan, and kiss our way down Broadway.” See the following two articles, The NYC Dyke March and Origins of Dyke Marches Around the World by Olivia Wood and The Lesbian Avengers and the Dyke March by Samantha Leyerle to learn more.
