SQUAD Presents: SORRY FEST!

Due to issues securing a venue, Fierce Fest will be postponed to next year and for this we present: SORRY FEST!

SORRY FEST is an alternative event (like a mini Fierce Fest) featuring: potluck, spoken word, bands, zines, art, and much more! Come heal with us before shitty family BBQs that celebrate white supremacy and imperialism! Please bring a food dish or item to share for the potluck! SORRY FEST is a safer space dedicated to people of color who are marginalized along gender and sexuality lines. 

NO BROS, NO ASSHOLES!

JULY 3rd 2015 || 2PM-10PM || @ Blood Orange Infoshop || 3485 University Ave. Riverside, CA

All Donations go to Blood Orange! ($5-$10 sliding scale, no one turned away for lack of funds)

The Blood Orange Infoshop (BOIS) is a collective of artists and activists who believe in the transformative potential of Do-It-Yourself culture and radical political intervention. We collaborate to provide an all ages, non-commercial, space for art exhibits, performances and free education. BOIS is committed to organizing a public venue that is non-hierarchical, drug and alcohol free, all ages, inclusive, and free of oppression.

Primarily run by POC, this space is extremely important for grass roots organizing in communities of color and is a crucial space within the Southern California punk scene. BOIS is the same collective who created “Jotxs Y Recuerdos”

Yesterday, the Infoshop was broken into was broken in to. Whoever broke in took our money, our projector and trashed our storage closet. Our door was damged and there is no way to properly lock it. We fear the person who broke in will come back and steal more or someone else might come in and trash the place. We need to raise money for a whole new door and the equipment that was stolen. Without the equioment, we can’t hold events and without events we can’t pay rent. The infoshop is made up of people who are dedicated to helping the community and providing free education and other resources for people who don’t have them. We run a free store that offers clothes, shoes, hygine prodocts and more for people who need them. We also need the funds for our rent. We had worked hard in raising the money that was taken and now we have none. Please help!

this event sounds SUPER AWESOME, any info yet for a 2015 queer punk fest?

squadlosangeles JUST had our first meeting about a 2015 fest last week!

our extremely tentative dates are june 6 & 7

(this will depend on the flexibility of the venue we have yet to procure, and on how the other org’s we are working to steer the process along with us!)

also, this year, we’re changing the name and vision of the fest!

yesterday at Queer Punk Fest 

[every-being-matters-deactivated]

I had such an awesome time at the Queer Punk Fest yesterday. It was my first time being in such a non-binary, queer environment and meeting so many unique people and hearing/reading their experiences, stories and poems. I’m slowly starting to go through these zines, and I’m still a bit shocked at how much people go through so often, so relentlessly. I have huge respect for anyone who has been a victim of societal ideals and of twisted individuals who take advantage, yet still carries on, speaks out against this and does their part to spread awareness to try and end this bashing. <3 <3

introducing SQUAD’s official tumblr page!

we chose a pyramid, as opposed to a triangle, to represent us. it symbolizes an ascension in queer discourse, a recognition of intersectional oppressions that are so real for so many of us, a problematizing of assimilationist, white-supremacist lg”bt” politics, and a recentralization of the struggles of the most marginalized queers & trans folx among us.

let’s keep moving forward and leave no qt behind! (well. unless they're like cops. or pieces of shit. you know what i mean)

[fierce-fest-blog]

Finally made a SQUAD tumblr page so we can move forward from Queer Punk Fest! Let's get together to do some rad shit before QPF LA 2015!
