SUMMARY:Get Lit Reading Series
DESCRIPTION:July 16:\nAugust: 20:\nSeptember 17:\nOctober: 15:\nNovember 19:\nDecember 17: \nSuggested donations of $10-25 will be kindly requested at the door\, though no one will be turned away for lack of funds (NOTAFLOF). \nSafe Space Statement \nNomadic Press events are safe spaces for those who have been silenced and marginalized. There is no room for racism\, misogyny\, homophobia\, or transphobia whether in the content of one’s reading or in one’s interactions with members of the community. We will protect the safety of this space by revoking a reader’s access to the microphone if we feel they have violated these guidelines\, and we encourage community members to come to us if someone has violated these guidelines away from the microphone. We are a community\, and we will work together to ensure that the safety of our most vulnerable members is prioritized above all else. \nGet beer. Get lit. Then get tacos. \nPast performers: \nApril 16 lineup: Jan Steckel\, Gary Turchin\, Barbara Saunders\, Anna Allen\, Yume Kim\, LadiRev\, Gamal Abdel Chasten\, Beverly Parayno\, Michael Gallagher\, Caesar Kent\, Josiahluis Alderete\, Gaia Thomas\, Charlie Getter\, Leticia Garcia Bradford\, and music by Kiva Uhuru. \nFebruary 19: Maggie Tokuda-Hall\, Ricardo Tavarez\, Jordan Wilson-dalzell\, Hilary Brown\, Jenee Darden\, Chad Koch\, Jeanne Lupton\, Lorenz Damuk\, Emily Podhorcer\, Becca Gomez Farrell\, Phyllis Oscar\, Esmerelda Mezcal\, Katie Aliferis\, Dee Allen.\, Kimi Sugioka\, Kai Sugioka-Stone\, Giavanna Ortiz de Candia “The Open Minds” (music)
