Breathe in, settle down, and drift back to a hopeful New Year’s Eve on Sunset Boulevard. This gentle sleep story guides you into deep rest while softly retelling the 1967 Black Cat protest in Los Angeles—a quiet, early stand against police brutality that helped spark a movement years before Stonewall. You’ll step inside the warm glow of the Black Cat Tavern, feel the joy of midnight, witness the shattering raid, and then the calm, determined protest that followed—organized by PRIDE (Personal Rights in Defense and Education) and allies in the community.

Told in a calm, soothing voice with slow pacing and spacious breaths, this bedtime narrative is crafted to ease anxiety, honor queer history, and help you fall asleep feeling safe, seen, and held.
