October is LGBTQ+ History Month. We are excited to roll out our 2026 @prideraiser campaign. How this works is you make a pledge for every goal the Quakes score in October, and at the end of the campaign, you donate the total pledge to our beneficiary.

This year’s Prideraiser beneficiary is @solanopride. Like every LGBTQ+ center that provides mental health services, they have been hit hard from changes in federal and state law. As a result, they have had to reduce staff and cut services. They do tremendous work in the community and we are honored to work with them.

The Supporters Shield & The Wooden Spoon. They were created and are managed by MLS Supporters Groups in the Independent Supporters Council (ISC). The Faultline and Epicentro 74 are members of ISC.

The Heritage Cup is a competition that celebrates the collective history and heritage of two of the oldest teams in North America, the San Jose Earthquakes and Seattle Sounders. Both teams were founded in 1974.

The trophies were created and managed by a group of fans from both teams and the supporters groups, Gorilla FC and The Faultline.

The current holder is Seattle Sounders.

We take a lot of pride in these supporter managed trophies. They are a lot of work behind the scenes with each group, and team. Verifying rules, updating websites, updating trophies, coordinating travel of the trophy all happen behind the scenes.

This is a photo of Seismic Union with the Heritage Cup from 2024.

The El Camino Real trophy was created in 2025 as a competition between San Jose Earthquakes and San Diego FC. It was created and is managed by supporters groups The Faultline and The Riptides.

The Quakes are the current holder of the trophy.

While The Faultline administers the El Camino Real trophy, it is acknowledged by Epicentro 74 and Seismic Union.

This is AI slop and insulting to the hard work of the supporters. Sending influencers around to do interviews about it is gross. Do better. by @thefaultliners

As we celebrate Ted Lasso Night at PayPal Park tonight, this is the message we want you to see.

If we believed women and valued their experiences, the Quakes would not have hired Gavin Wilkinson to the club in any capacity.

Don’t want to let it pass mention that Quakes won the El Camino Real trophy on Wednesday at San Diego FC due to winning both legs of the series. We had a rep on site to receive the trophy but due to some issues in San Diego’s side, a transfer did not happen. More to come. by @thefaultliners

While we are still firmly #GWOut and believe in holding the FO accountable for bringing in Gavin Wilkinson, we still support the boys on the field and our community through our Clean Sheets for Clean Sheets initiative. With the shutout tonight, another $150+ will go to @lifemoves_org to provide clean sheets to those in need.

Update on the Hiring of Gavin Wilkinson

It’s been 15 days since ESPN reported that Gavin Wilkinson has been hired by the SJ Earthquakes.

To date, nobody at the Quakes has taken public accountability for the hire.

It has also been made clear that any MLS restorative process to allow GW to return to MLS has not taken into account what happened to NWSL players under GW's watch.

Restorative justice without making victims whole is neither restorative nor just.

What You Can Do To Help

-Keep the issue alive. #GWOut everywhere

-Keep sending emails to the club if this hire is stopping you from buying or renewing season tickets and/or attending games.

-Continue bringing signs and banners. PayPal Park rules currently allow 3ft x 5 ft signs, banners, and flags.

-Concessions blackout. Do not spend money at PayPal Park stands or the bar.

-Support the players, not the regime. by @thefaultliners

Statement on the Hiring of Gavin Wilkinson

MLS fanbases expect their front office to uphold high standards of integrity, safety, and accountability.

Involving Gavin Wilkinson in the Earthquakes organization, even as an advisor or consultant, sends a harmful message to supporters, community partners, staff, and players.

Wilkinson’s repeated failure to prioritize the safety of women and hold abusive people accountable makes him unfit to work for the San Jose Earthquakes organization.

We call on the Quakes to terminate the contract of Gavin Wilkinson. #GWOut by @thefaultliners

And just like that, it’s time for the Cali Clasico! We are back at Stanford Stadium this Saturday, July 25th starting at 1 PM.

We will be in our usual spot with other Seismic Union groups in Lot 2, near gate 11. This is a prepaid lot, if you need the link, please let us know.

We will be grilling food and have a share table for snacks.

If you need tickets for our section, send a DM. We cannot emphasize enough to plan to arrive early. Traffic and parking at Stanford is notoriously challenging.

Tough game last night. Regardless of the result, the sentiment remains that the Whitecaps belong in Vancouver. #SaveTheCaps taken in PayPal Park by @thefaultliners
