Join us for a special open mic TELL to give voice to where we’re at right now. Preach to your queer comrades! Give us a little sermon on working for justice, fighting for our lives, living with uncertainty, finding joy in the midst of pain, loving ourselves and each other, or whatever else is on your mind and in your heart. Let’s lift each other up as we raise funds for Black Voters Matter in the lead-up to the Georgia Senate runoffs on January 5, 2021!

Black Voters Matter‘s goal is to increase power in marginalized, predominantly Black communities. Effective voting allows a community to determine its own destiny. We agree with the words of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. when he said, “Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is power correcting everything that stands against love.”
