Fluid’s Next Chapter 🌱 (This is a long post but please take the time to read and share) Dear Friends of Fluid, We have some good and bad news. We’ll start with the bad first and end on a good note! We at Fluid are honored to have created a beautiful, vibrant family at the La Cocina Municipal Marketplace. We have laughed, cried, grieved, and loved as a community - making this first update even more heartbreaking. After Pride 2023 (Sunday, June 25th), Fluid Coffee and Events will be closing its doors permanently at La Cocina Marketplace. This was not our decision, but that of La Cocina. We are grateful to have had the opportunity to create something so beautiful and unique in the Tenderloin, however, we haven’t been open about the hardships that come with being trans people of color in this space. That said, we will also be canceling our Queer Coffee Conference and pushing back to the summer of 2024 to focus on Pride catering and fundraising for our future home here in the Tenderloin. Our apologies to anyone who has made arrangements to come to QCC, we hope we can see you in 2024. The good news is we have about a month left at our current location and a series of events that you can come to! First, we have one more TenderMic on Thursday, June 8th. There’s still time to come and enjoy local artists sharing their crafts! And we have three more Game Nights on the 1st & 3rd Wednesdays of the month (May 17th, June 7th, and June 21st.) We are also bringing back our Queer Prom on Friday, June 9th at the San Francisco Fairmont! This will be a free event and registration will be up soon! This is not the end of Fluid, but rather the start of a new chapter for us and we hope you’ll continue to support us as we fundraise to start the buildout of our brick & mortar! Donate to our Givebutter page (link in bio) and share. We will be sharing updates about our next steps on instagram and on our website so stay tuned! With love, JoJo Ty - CEO, Community Liaison & Advocate Sarello Buyco - COO, Coffee & Catering Daddy Santana Tapia - CMO, Events & Partnerships by @wearefluidsf
Five years ago today 4/15 Fluid officially became a business. And somehow, it feels poetic that it shares a birthday with San Francisco itself 🧡🖤 Fluid was never just a space. It was always a feeling. A gathering. A love letter to our community. Fluid was and still is a family. It’s the people who came in every morning for their coffee, who made us part of their daily ritual. It’s our beautiful group of trans elders who shared their stories with us every Friday. It’s the community we built at La Cocina. It’s every conversation, every laugh, every moment of care we held for one another. From building community at La Cocina to being recognized by TIME as one of the world’s greatest places, Fluid has always been rooted in something bigger than a physical space. While we don’t currently have a physical home, that doesn’t mean we’re gone it means we’ve been in motion. Growing, dreaming, building something even more aligned, more intentional, more us for this next chapter. Fluid’s legacy is family. To take care of each other. To always welcome all people. We carry that forward in the spirit of our transcestors those who fought back against police violence at Compton’s Cafeteria and as we move into the 60th anniversary this year, we remain committed to uplifting that legacy of resilience through whatever comes next for us. As we celebrate 5 years, we’re holding gratitude for everything that got us here and deep excitement for what’s ahead. If you’ve ever been part of Fluid, just know… this story isn’t over. Stay tuned for ways to support, rep Fluid, and step into what we’re building next. The next chapter is coming and it’s going to be beautiful ☕✨ With love, Santana Tapia and Sarello Buyco Your Fluid Cooperative Family 🩵🤍🩷 by @wearefluidsf
The Fluid Family is devastated to announce the passing of Michelle Henry, a beloved member of our trans community, and part of our Fluid Community, who was killed last week. Michelle’s sweetness, kindness, and joyful spirit touched everyone she met, and her tragic loss impacts us all. Michelle’s passing reminds us that far too many of our trans femme and gender non-conforming siblings have been lost to violence. San Francisco prides itself on being a safe heaven for those who are oppressed yet even in our “bubble” Black Trans Women are facing alarming rates of violence. We are grieving with our community and continue to advocate for the safety and dignity of all of us. Community will be gathering tonight at @motherbarsf to honor Michelle’s memory. We hope to see you there. If you are in need of mental health support Trans Lifeline’s hotline is (877) 565-8860 and @trans_thrive will be holding space for community daily this week 2pm to 4pm.
