Weinstein Hall occupation
Building occupation in New York City
The Weinstein Hall occupation was organized by gay liberation activists from September 20 to 25, 1970, to protest the cancellation of gay dances at a residence building at New York University in Greenwich Village. The building occupation, which occurred in the wake of the 1969 Stonewall riots, saw the takeover of the sub-basement of Weinstein Hall, where the dances were set to take place.
