LA/OC Chapter Punk Rock Saves Lives

LA/OC Chapter Punk Rock Saves Lives We believe Punk Rock not only saves lives but also seeks to improve the communities and neighborhoods we live in. Every swab could be a match.

Punk Rock Saves Lives (PRSL) isn’t just a name — it’s what we do. We’re a 501(c)(3) nonprofit built from the DIY spirit of the music we love.

• We swab cheeks and save lives — signing people up for the bone marrow registry to fight blood cancers and disorders. Every match could be the one.
• We break down barriers to self-care — handing out harm reduction supplies like naloxone (Narcan), test st

rips, earplugs, and emergency contraception because everyone deserves a chance to make it to the next show.
• We fight the stigma around mental health — sharing resources, creating safe spaces at events, and reminding you: you are not alone. Punk Rock Saves Lives (PRSL) is not a 24-hour helpline, nor are we trained mental health professionals. PRSL hopes to serve as a safe place to talk and not feel alone. If this is an emergency, or if you are worried that you or someone you know may be at risk for su***de, please call your local authorities (911), contact a mental health professional, or call and talk to someone at the National Su***de Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255.

Meet your LA and OC counties chapter lead! My name is Sonya, and I’ve been in the punk rock community for 30 years. I’m a Sociology professor, family ma’am, animal lover, and human rights advocate. I run this page, and I promise I’m trying to get better at social media. DM me if you would like to collaborate! I’d love to set up a table at your next show.
