Diana Mora is the co-founder of the bar and music venue Friends and Lovers, a safe and inclusive space for queer and BIPOC folks in Crown Heights, staffed by locals for locals. But when the pandemic shut down Brooklyn’s nightlife scene, she went citywide. Mora co-founded NYC Nightlife United, an advocacy and action coalition that works to bolster the city's ruptured professional nightlife community. We will talk about that work, the current state of Brooklyn nightlife, what it feels like to be raided by the cops, without explanation, on a number of occasions and what her own favorite nightlife moments have been.
