If you are employed & doing pretty fine right now, set aside some money from each paycheck to dedicate to mutual aid asks. Even just $20.

Shit is really bad, the social safety net is being shredded, & truly TRULY all we have is each other right now.

Today you should send love to your trans friends. Tomorrow, too. Maybe every day for a while.

My publisher’s been very patient. I’m not doing everything I said I’d do to promote this book (out in a few weeks) because I’m an organizer in a city under federal attack. My days are full and emotionally exhausting. Any help getting the word out means a lot. It's a book people need right now.

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.
