Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez shared a flyer on Instagram on Tuesday, calling on fellow comrades to "protect" a drag queen event for children in Queens.
The flyer, which AOC reposted from an Instagram account called "therollinglibrary", reads "Defend Drag Story Hour in NYC! Help protect queer spaces and expression under threat from the far right."
The post reads, "the rolling library is a queer-led, queens-based, library-obsessed mutual aid group so yes we will standing [sic] with our comrades to defend Drag Story Hour this Thursday in Jackson Heights!!!!"
The event calls on attendees to wear regular clothing and a mask, as well as "rainbow swag, non-amplified noisemakers, musical instruments, joy, and love."
The post continues: "A group of violent loud bigots, who have repeatedly harassed and invaded these events in the city is openly planning to disrupt the next Drag Story Hour, on Thursday, December 29 at Jackson Heights Library in Queens.
"Queer community members and allies will be there to show the fascists they are not welcome, but that kids and drag queens are.
"Let's show NYC's unwavering support for Drag Queen Story Hour and for queer and trans people, and make a safe, encouraging and joyful welcome for kids and their grownups as they enter the library."
The last New York "Drag Queen Story Hour" for children ended with police intervention, after masked and hooded individuals engaged in violence with protestors.
