DESCRIPTION:Join us for a night of queer folk and big 
 feelings!\n\nFeaturing:\n\n~Laurence White~\nLaurence is a non binary 
 singer songwriter born and raised in Louisville, Kentucky. Laurence lives 
 in Santa Cruz, California where they practice poetry, awe, and healing 
 work.\n\n~Chaotic Futch~\nThey're back, baby. And it's their 
 birthday.\nhttps://chaoticfutch.bandcamp.com/\n\n~Sophie Lev (of 
 Superbloom)~\n\n~Kite Hands Glowing~\n\n\nAll proceeds will benefit Hecate 
 Society! \n\nHecate Society is a QTPOC* centric, femme* & youth-led, art 
 and media collective that aims to elevate the stories of immigrants and 
 refugees traveling to the so-called United States while simultaneously 
 engaging in mutual aid, community organizing and coalition building inside 
 of refugee communities. Our intention is to support refugee-run autonomous 
 spaces in border towns and communities with high concentrations of refugees 
 and migrants by providing support around housing, food, media, and legal 
 aid. We emphasize working with political refugees and refugee activists who 
 are actively engaging in direct action against the government and 
 organizing in their communities, whether it’s in detention, in Tijuana, 
 in the US or back in their homelands. We support LGBTQ+ and vulnerable 
 populations within the refugee community throughout their entire 
 transition, pre, during and post detention processes in hopes that 
 individuals can escape deathly situations and build powerful new movements 
 within refugee communities that will fight against the US-funded pillars of 
 injustice that are creating unlivable situations for millions of 
 people.\n\nWe aim to create a revolutionary paradigm for building 
 collective power and healing trauma by using art and media. We hope to use 
 Hecate Society as a platform that can bring decentralized support to 
 refugees, particularly LGBTQ+ femme and youth voices to produce their own 
 narratives and bring their own voices and stories to the forefront. We hope 
 to acknowledge and raise awareness around how the exodus is directly 
 intertwined with indigenous sovereignty and climate change. We believe that 
 media and art can be used not only to reframe problematic narratives and 
 build alternative ones, but also, as a form of therapy, to heal identity 
 and community based trauma. The content we produce is created through a 
 mutual exchange of ideas, using casual interviews that also serve as 
 therapeutic and healing moments that can help us and the interviewees 
 process traumatic experiences and beautiful experiences alike. When we 
 build our content, we are building deeper friendships. We aim to capture 
 the totality of people’s humanity, suffering and most importantly, their 
 resistance.\n\nOur biggest team is on the ground in Tijuana but we also 
 have members of the collective currently working out of Chicago, 
 Minneapolis, Oakland and Italy.\n\n*QTPOC: Queer, Trans, People of 
 Color\n*Femme: We use the word femme as an inclusive term that includes all 
 trans, cis and non-binary people whom identify as femme 
 \n\n\n7$\n7:30pm\nAll Ages\nSafe Space\nNo Alcohol No Drugs\nNo One Turned 
 Away For Lack of Funds\n
