📣 Events: Week of FEB 2, 2026
volume iv • issue 5 ~ here's your rundown of queer, sapphic-friendly events happening in Los Angeles this week.
Happy Black History Month, everyone.
As you know, Black lives matter everyday, not just in February. If you want to tangibly support the work of this Black-owned publication, become a paid subscriber for much less than what your latte costs—and for way more impact.
Also, when demanding justice for Renee Good and Alex Pretti, don’t forget to include Keith Porter too. If you want to support getting justice for Keith, a Black man from LA who was shot and killed by an off-duty ICE agent, you can sign this petition demanding accountability.
Do something nice for a Black person this week (and everyday, really) okay?!
