Crafting Solidarity: A Disabled QTBIPOC Pride Party!
Come celebrate Disabled QTBIPOC Pride and creativity in this vibrant access centered event! Start off the evening by meeting local mutual aid & community groups, decorate your disability aids at our craft table, and check out new and lightly used items at our disability and gender affirming mutual aid swap.
We'll transition from early evening to night with an amazing line up of local QTBIPOC performers from 6:15-11pm, ending in a ethereal DJ-ed dance party. (The performances will be livestreamed on Youtube!) Our performers are Ashtroboi (DJ), The Dance Pit (DJ), Kambaba Jasper (music & livecode visuals), Miss Alaynia (drag) and starlybri (visuals).
$5-25 Sliding Scale - Tickets pay organizers, performers and co-op venue directly! If you want to support, you can donate funds or items to the event.
