DESCRIPTION:Lead singer Jorge Herrera of the "street-punk" band The Casualties has been 
 ousted as the perpetrator of multiple instances of sexual assault, 
 particularly against underage women. \n\n(Most notable example is this 
 account: 
 http://putyourdamnpantson.com/2013/11/05/guest-post-i-wont-apologize-for-being-assaulted/)\n\n 
 Most of the bands on tour with them have refused to acknowledge the claims 
 and have engaged in victim shaming dialogue claiming that the survivor is 
 not believable but not providing any reasons why. Attempts to hold Jorge 
 accountable have failed and so far only one band, Wartorn from WI, have 
 dropped from the tour. \n\nAttempts to contact the Catalyst have 
 failed.\n\nAttempts to reason with the bands on tour with the Casualties 
 have failed.\n\nThis event is a call out for the local punk scene to 
 collaborate on confronting the problematic culture of abuse prevalent among 
 bands and fans that allow this type of behavior to continue unabated and 
 unchallenged. We are calling for a boycott of this show and for local 
 promoters to deny booking these bands in the future. \n\nGather in front of 
 the Catalyst tonight to dissuade people from attending a show headlined by 
 an ousted rapist and supported by a legion of rape apologists claiming 
 "radical" politics and "diy" ethic. They are not welcome in our community 
 and neither is any rapist nor those who support them.\n
