<br />
In December 1979, Borde was arrested for trespassing and assaulting a police officer (charges that were later dropped). In turn, Borde filed complaints of assault and battery against a Boston police officer involved in her arrest--a two-day trial ended in acquittal of the officer. The Combahee River Collective was a Black feminist collective active in Boston from 1974 to 1980. They are known for developing the Combahee River Collective Statement.<br />

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Bruce Voeller, Dr. Harold Brown, Ron Gold, and Nath Rockhill founded the National Gay Task Force in New York City in October, 1973. It was the first professionally led organization to lobby politically for lesbian and gay rights on the national level. SUPPORT THE GAY RIGHTS AMENDMENT IN CONGRESS. On May 14, 1974, U.S. Representatives Bella Abzug and Edward I. Koch of N.Y. introduced in Congress the Equality Act of 1974, a federal bill to ban discrimination against lesbians, gay men, unmarried persons, and women, in employment, housing, and public accommodations. Though it failed to pass, this first national bill to end discrimination against lesbians and gay men lived on in spirit, in campaigns to win federal support for a full response to the AIDS crisis, in support of hate crimes legislation, and for passage of the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA). ]]></dcterms:description>
