This event is being held on the stolen, ancestral territories of the Musqueam, Skxwú7mesh-ulh, and Tsleil-Waututh nations. As we live and organize queer space as settlers on these lands, we have an obligation to continuously work to repair harms perpetrated upon Indigenous communities, presently and historically. Settler colonialism has brought (and continues to bring) untold violence to these lands, via unlawful resource extraction, racism in medical and foster care systems, and the intergenerational trauma of residential schools. One way we will strive to offer restorative care and reparations in relation to this event is by donating a portion of event proceeds to the Indian Residential School Survivors Society. We encourage settlers to donate as well.

SAFER SPACES POLICY:

We have a zero tolerance policy for oppressive behaviour in all its forms — including but not limited to cultural appropriation, misogyny, transphobia, racism, fatphobia, and ableism.

BUDDY SYSTEM:

The Buddy System is a grassroots effort to combat rape culture and enhance the safety of our queer events. CONSENT IS SEXY — AND MANDATORY! Buddies will be wearing **NEON T-SHIRTS**. Our Buddies are NARCAN trained, and are carrying sealed water bottles, condoms, lube, granola bars, tampons, and more. They will run interference if someone is receiving unwanted attention, can help folks in need find a way home, and generally serve as go-to support people should any problems arise.
