(CW: sexual violence)

Ashley Diamond is a black transwoman who was incarcerated in a men's prison for 3 1/2 years and sentenced to 12 for a crime of poverty. She was refused access to health care and hormones, subjected to sexual violence and placed in solitary confinement. She was released from prison with nothing and returned to living in a small southern town where discrimination against transfolks is incessant, employment opportunities are scarce, and gender-affirming medical care is not easily accessible. Right now, she does not have the funds to continue her hormone therapy, pay her rent, or meet her basic needs. Come out and support Ashley Diamond as she recovers from the brutal handling of the police and prison industrial complex!

Ky Peterson, a young black transman in rural Georgia, is serving 20 years for defending himself during a sexual attack. Emergency medical professionals confirmed that Ky had survived brutal acts of sexual violence, yet the police returned him to the Sumter County jail. After he sat there for nearly a year, Ky was bullied into signing a plea “deal." He is now serving a sentence in Pulaski State Prison for Involuntary Manslaughter, which was obviously an act of self-defense. Come out and support Ky as he fights for his freedom!

This is a benefit for queer and transfolks, but everyone is welcome! Have fun, get sexy, but be respectful too! Actively and consistently seeking verbal informed consent and respecting when it is not given is necessary for creating healthy anti-authoritarian spaces. We will have support people in place, come talk to us if someone is making you uncomfortable. Creepers will be asked to leave.

We can't do this without our AMAZING volunteers!!
Sign up here to help us out! You will be rewarded with sparkly feels and booze, if you desire!
