OCOF Celebrates Women's History Month
Billie Holiday is considered one of the best jazz vocalists of all time, Holiday had a thriving career as a jazz singer for many years.

OCOF stands together against violence perpetrated against any member of our community.

Cecelia Chung has tirelessly advocated for transgender rights for more than 20 years in San Francisco & nationwide. As an Asian transgender woman living with HIV, she’s spent her life fighting to end discrimination, stigma and violence across marginalized communities, first as the former chair of the San Francisco Human Rights Commission and then on the Presidential Advisory Council on HIV/AIDS.

OCOF honors Sylvia Rivera- a veteran of the 1969 Stonewall uprising. Sylvia was a tireless advocate for all those who have been marginalized as the “gay rights” movement has mainstreamed. Sylvia fought hard against the exclusion of transgender people from the Sexual Orientation Non-Discrimination Act in New York, and was a loud and persistent voice for the rights of people of color and low-income qu**rs and trans people.

This month, OCOF will highlight inspiring stories to salute the countless women making an impact in their communities, their nation, and the world. Sister Rosetta Tharpe is one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. Her flamboyance, skill, and showmanship on the electrified guitar played a vital role in the conception of Rock & Roll as a genre of music.https://tinyurl.com/2x6vhcu4
