October Goal: $0/500

We will update as our goals our met.

Support the Pride Was A Riot print fund.
We like to distribute our literature & flyers at no cost. We believe charging for our materials creates a barrier between our work & those who can benefit from it.
We lead online fundraisers like this to remove that paywall and ensure our community can benefit from our radical material, free of charge.

Consider sharing or supporting the Pride Was A Riot print fund. Our goal is $500 for the month of October. Donations of $5, $10 and $20 go a long way to creating a more radical Sacramento community.
You can create the community you want to see, and today, we need your help to do it.

Ian Carroll was a brand ambassador for Hetero Pride in Boise. He canceled last minute but white supremacists still showed. He's done antisemitic presentations at the straight pride organizer's bar.

The bar sells Nazi colored Elon Musk salute merch. Meridian Tesla Hitler, and other Nazis, wear it.

TOMORROW BELONGS TO US

2 panel meme. Top panel:
Guy in a military outfit including a gas mask riding on the front of a motorized something or other, a tank perhaps, with a long gun barrel sticking out. He's looking at the camera, turned around from the direction of travel. Overlaid text reads, "hey friend listen, I know the world is scary right now but"

Bottom panel:
It's a zoom in on the eyes in the gas mask. The original meme says, "it's about to get much worse" or something like that. This version is subverted where that text is removed and "the future is unknowable and will be determined by how hard we fight now for a loving world" is inserted.

It’s really hard to post this. I know that there are a lot of other important issues asking for money but things have gotten to the point where we need to open ourselves up to your support.

Thank you for your consideration.

The secret police performatively praying over fast food hamburgers before a hard day's work disappearing immigrants. They'd call you a hack for making a joke like that. I feel like one just noticing it having happened in real life.
