Feeling grateful after the How We Resist festival last weekend! In just a few hours, we were able to fundraise $600 for local nonprofits & donate so much clothes to the Dakota reservation ❤️

Thank you to @propositionmole for this years collaboration, to @santa_cruz_barrios_unidos, @campesinawombjustice, & @homelessgardenproject for doing amazing work helping our most vulnerable communities, to all of the artists for sharing their craft, and to everyone who spent the day with us 💫 we couldn’t do this work without you!

We’re looking forward to more events like this 🔥 taken in Tannery Arts Center by @propositionmole

Our hearts are warm after our first Disturbance: An Anarchist Jazz Speakeasy! A special thanks to our incredibly talented band: Simon Russel, Ryan Price, and Jaime Sanchez!! It’s so wonderful to see the community come together, learn from one another, and dance together. We’d like to give another special thanks to all of our incredible speakers and tablers who made the effort to share resources and education, and the lovely queer safe space @theneighborspub for hosting us! Lots more events coming soon so stay tuned… 🎶🏳️‍🌈 taken in The Neighbor’s by @propositionmole

What an incredible WHACK-A-MOLE! ‘Til Death Do Us Part 🥀🕯️🖤 fundraiser, drag show, and dance party earlier this month brought dark and weird Valentine’s performances to the @moesalley stage. We feel so incredibly honored to be able to hold these safe spaces where we are able to uplift queer art, educate our neighbors, and raise money for critical issues here in Santa Cruz and across the world.

This month, we shared resources and raised money for the vile crises of Sudan and Congo, two of the world’s worst humanitarian crises today, and in recorded history. These are wars against innocent women and children and together we were able to raise $2060 at this show to send to Focus Congo, Panzi Foundation, Sudanese Relief Fund, and UN Women’s Sudan fund. This money is directly being used to supply food, water, shelter, medical care, mental health care, education, and safe havens for victims. Thank you from the bottom of all of our hearts to everyone who came out to support the show and to everyone who donated. Because of all of you, we were able to help some civilians of Sudan and Congo and that is one step towards freedom and justice.

Thank you to all of our incredible performers for bringing your art to our stage and making our show possible! Thank you to our vendors for the craft you bring our community and to @yarr.scc for bringing resources to keep our community safe from ICE! Thank you to @moesalley for allowing us the incredible space to do what we do ❤️ and thank you to @dj.croptop_ for keeping the night going with the sick tunes! Lastly, thank you to @heart1ucy and @sophia.pillitteri for the wonderful pictures and videos :)

We are so grateful for this community, for the incredible art being shared, for the openness of everyone to hold spaces to discuss important issues in the world and make action together, for the love of one another, celebration of queer pride, and everyone’s own unique culture and background. We are here to stand together through art and action one step at a time in this fascist, white-supremacist, imperialist world. Until next time…

THIS SUNDAY! Join us in learning about local issues and resources and how to get involved while listening to live jazz courtesy of @groovewars trio 🎶 Speakers from @yarr.scc @waqatac @above_and_beyond_831 and more! Now is the time to come together, connect, and make some movement. 🎹✊

The birth of jazz was a protest that revolutionized art, music, dance, communication, and social change. The rebellion of jazz inspired a cultural shift in the world and brought connection and passion to society. We need this fire and community more than ever right now, so this Sunday we are taking the passion of jazz back into our community and gathering to connect with new people, new ideas, and be inspired by jazz once again! As leftists, we must stand together and stand tall! Join us as a united community!!
