As part of our end of year close-out process we pulled together these photos ♥️ Thank you to everyone that came to our events this year and participated in this community!

Every year we need to wrap up grant close out documents, work on budgets, and submit new grant applications. And there is nothing more representative of the work we do then showing these photos, which are only made possible by all of the artists and fans who come out to the events and build community with us 💯

In 2025 we received 3 grants that allowed us to host host our events and support our movement!
1) Cambridge Community Fund Grant from
2) Arts for Social Justice Grant from
3) City Hall Plaza Grant

Thank you so much to these sponsors for believing in us and supporting our work! 🙏
