Activists Move to Reclaim Comptons Cafeteria Site From Private Prison Operator
San Francisco’s Board of Appeals allows LGBTQ advocates to challenge the GEO Group's operation of a halfway house at the historic 111 Taylor Street, site of the 1966 Compton’s Cafeteria Riot. Activists argue that the facility disrespects the site’s legacy and seek to reclaim it for community use. If successful, their appeal could lead to increased oversight of carceral facilities in the area.
