Philly Q***r Brunch is a monthly Philly potluck that raises funds for grassroots organizations doing the hard and chronically underfunded work of q***r and trans justice! Each month's brunch supports a different organization--mostly local to the Philadelphia area, but some doing radical work across the country. PQB aims to center the voices and experiences of q***r and trans women and non-binary/n
on-conforming folk, but we invite ALL to join us for fun, food, and community-building. PQB is also a space for collaborative, low-fi arts and crafts! Each month, on theme with the organization we are supporting, we work together to produce some form of creative project. In the past, PQB has produced a series of zines (topics include reproductive justice, q***r health & wellness, education, s*x work and harm reduction, and q***r family), created and sent holiday cards to our q***r & trans community members who are incarcerated (through Black and Pink), and assembled posters to carry and distribute at the March and the March to End R**e Culture in Philadelphia. If you have ideas for a collaborative project, please let us know!! PQB is committed to remaining financially accessible to everyone who wants to build community with us, so while we typically suggest that folks bring "$10-20 to donate, and a dish or drink to share," we hope that folks for whom that amount isn't feasible will join us at brunch regardless and enjoy the food and love!

September 2017: The March to End R**e Culture
