- HOW: Tickets here!
Come learn and build with organizers from Gabriela, the Palestinian Feminist Collective, the Sudan Tapes Archive, and the local movement to combat police brutality and the expansion of cop cities across Turtle Island. Our people have always known how to organize and resist – in the streets, through culture and ancestral practices, and in community.
We’re continuing to raise funds in these times of raging global crises, and to build community across nations and movements for liberation. We have so much to learn from each other’s histories, as we deepen our political consciousness and commitments. We’ll be donating the funds to mutual aid efforts supporting displaced and impacted families in the Congo, Palestine, and Sudan.
TICKETS are at a sliding scale $10 to 25 (presale online) and $15 to 25 at the door. Consider making a donation even if you’re unable to make it to the event – anything that you can contribute helps! This is what international solidarity & mutual aid looks like.
