Can you believe it’s been 15 years? From our humble beginnings as anti-harassment organizers at Hollaback! DC to a Black trans-led abolitionist organization, we’ve made it through several seasons of metamorphosis. We remain heartily rooted in our purpose with new blooming branches.That is something to be celebrated! Come party with us on Friday, August 2nd for the return of our famed fundraiser - Safe Space Jam: the 15-year celebration!

We’re curating a CASS birthday bash to commune with our supporters, reminisce on historical CASS moments, enjoy wellness activation stations, interact with our pivotal research assessing the needs of queer and trans BIPOC survivors of patriarchal violence, and raise funds to support our upcoming projects. It’s giving adult prom (but not cringe) with a purpose!

Your participation in Safe Space Jam is an opportunity to take action toward strengthening our community’s ability to respond to state and patriarchal violence without police or prisons. We’re raising $15K to create a community action framework and storytelling salons for our Safety in the Subversive Project. Community-powered funding allows us to expand our collective visions for community safety as opposed to limiting ourselves to what funders envision for our communities. We are grateful to have thrived for 15 years because of the consistent donations of hundreds of community members, and we plan to continue that legacy. The aim of this fundraiser is to increase our community investments to sustain our small grassroots organization, especially as we anticipate more political chaos and social upheaval in the future.
