Hey y’all just a reminder that Community Pride is October 8th at Mayme Moore Park and we are still looking for safety team volunteers! Go to bit.ly/CCP2022Safety (link is case sensitive and in bio) to sign up for a shift!! Join us for our monthly grassroots fundraiser, BQIC Speak Up! Spoken Word and Open Mic next Tuesday August 16th at 8PM!! 🎤💫 Two nights ago, our beloved @thevanderelliroom was vandalized by the colonizer white supremacists group, The Patriot Front. They defaced and damaged several works of art directing their violence to the “Stolen Joy” mural by Katie Golonka. This mural was a Black Lives Matter memorial of 45 Black and Brown individuals who were murdered by police. The vanderelli room continues to be a space for artwork by and for the people, showing the pain and struggles of our people due to white supremacist violence. It’s an important space that we as a community should support at all times but need to step up at times like these. Please consider donating to @thevanderelliroom to help them repair damage and important artwork (the link is in their bio). Please share the news of how important this space is to our community, what’s happened and ways people can support with your loved ones and send some extra love to @thevanderelliroom and the incredible owner who does so much for our community @ajvanderelli. #community #support #TheVanderelliRoom #ohio Happy Leo season everyone ☀️ !!
