SUMMARY:SISTER SPIT TOUR 2018: QTPOC Cruising the West
DESCRIPTION:🌙An evening of provocation\, feelings\, analysis\, astrology & shade🌙\nThursday\, March 15th\n7pm\nSLIDING SCALE $15-$20\n@ The STUD\n*************************************************\nIn 2018 Sister Spit celebrates its 21st year on the road with stops in California\, Arizona and New Mexico from March 2 – March 15 (homecoming @ The STUD)\, featuring 7 EXCEPTIONAL artists shaping the culture as we know it rn:\n🌙Mari Naomi\n🌙Jamal Lewis\n🌙Juliana Delgado Lopera\n🌙Wo Chan\n🌙jayy dodd\n🌙Virgie Tovar &\n🌙Andrea Abi-Karam\n*************************************************\nSome history:\nThe tour began in San Francisco in the 1990s as a weekly\, girls-only open mic that was an alternative to the misogyny-soaked poetry open mics popular around the city at that time. Sister Spit became the first all-girl poetry roadshow at the end of the 90s\, and toured regularly with such folks as Eileen Myles\, Beth Lisick and Nomy Lamm. \nThe tour was revived as Sister Spit: The Next Generation in 2007. In this next incarnation\, out of respect to the changing gender landscape of our queer communities\, the tour welcomed artists of all genders\, including Chinaka Hodge\, Dorothy Allison and Justin Vivian Bond. Sister Spit 2018 marks a new chapter in the tour’s history. \nAs Radar Productions\, the non-profit that houses Sister Spit\, has shifted its vision toward Queer & Trans People of Color (QTPOC) specifically\, so too has the tour shifted lineup and style.\n*************************************************\nConsider supporting Sister Spit’s GoFundMe campaign. Proceeds go directly to off-setting costs for artists\, the van\, gas\, hotels and insurance: https://www.gofundme.com/qtpoc-cruising-the-west-tour

SUMMARY:Sarah McBride / Tomorrow Will Be Different
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for an evening with Sarah McBride\, who celebrates the launch of Tomorrow Will Be Different: Love\, Loss\, and the Fight for Trans Equality. \nBefore she became the first transgender person to speak at a national political convention in 2016 at the age of twenty-six\, Sarah McBride struggled with the decision to come out—not just to her family but to the students of American University\, where she was serving as student body president. She’d known she was a girl from her earliest memories\, but it wasn’t until the Facebook post announcing her truth went viral that she realized just how much impact her story could have on the country. \nFour years later\, McBride was one of the nation’s most prominenttransgender activists\, walking the halls of the White House\, advocating the passing of laws\, and addressing the country in the midst of a heated presidential election. And\, she’d found her first love and future husband\, Andy\, a trans man and fellow activist\, who complemented her in every way… until cancer tragically intervened. \nInformative\, heartbreaking\, and empowering\, Tomorrow Will Be Different is McBride’s story of love and loss\, a powerful entry point into the LGBTQ community’s battle for equal rights and what it means to be openly transgender. From issues like bathroom access to health care\, McBride weaves the important political and cultural milestones into a personal journey that will open hearts and change minds. \nThe fight for equality and freedom has only just begun.\n— \nPlease note: this event will be held at The Bindery\, 1727 Haight. RSVP appreciated but not required. \nIf you cannot attend the event but would like to request a signed copy of Tomorrow Will Be Different\, order here and put your request in the comments field.
