Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries (STAR) was a gay, gender non-conforming, and transvestite street activist organization founded in 1970 by Sylvia Rivera and Marsha P. Johnson, New York City trans women of color. STAR was a radical political collective that also provided housing and support to homeless LGBT youth and sex workers in Lower Manhattan. STAR is considered by many to be a groundbreaking organization in the queer liberation movement and a model for other organizations.
