Who We Are

The Comptons x Coalition was born from the urgent need to challenge corporate control and systemic violence in our communities. We are grounded in the legacy of the 1966 Compton’s Cafeteria Riot, when trans women, drag queens, and queer community members resisted police harassment in the Tenderloin.

Today, we fight to transform 111 Taylor Street, a historic site of resistance, from GEO Group’s harmful reentry program into an intersectional community hub. Our mission is clear: protect history, dismantle carceral power, and build a future rooted in justice and belonging.

Over 100 coalition members, 60 organizations, 9 Strategic Wisdom Councilmembers, 7 People’s Council Members, 9 Advisors, and 3 Operations Crew Members.
