On June 5, 2012, at the historic Stonewall Inn in Greenwich 
Village, where a backlash against police harassment in June 1969 
launched the modern LGBT rights movement, local, state and 
national LGBT organizations, convened by the Retail, Wholesale 
and Department Store Union, joined civil rights, labor, and 
elected leaders to announce support for the campaign against the 
NYPD's stop and frisk policy, and issue a call to action to for 
the LGBT community to participate in the June 17th Father's Day Silent March Against Racial Profiling.
