Femmes & Folx Benefit Show for Tijuana Refugees

It’s the giving season, and if you’re like us, you’re looking for ways to support the thousands of refugees seeking asylum at the US-Mexico border. In times of humanitarian crisis, when government agencies fail to take action, the people step up.

Come out to Old Capitol Books with any of the supplies needed at the border (listed below) OR $10. Direct Action Monterey Network, Revolunas, and Watsonville Brown Berets will be traveling to Tijuana on December 15, loaded with supplies and volunteers. Come join us in strengthening the cause, enjoying an evening of music and community, and supporting the work of local musicians and artists!

Femmes & Folx is a series of music concerts intended to feature underrepresented performers, specifically women, trans folks, and people of color. Featuring bedrooms, Chelsea Riddle, and River Navaille, full list of performers to be released soon!
