The Transgender Emergency Fund assists with homelessness prevention, shelter assistance, nutrition assistance, prescription co-pay assistance, transportation and escort to medical appointments, etc. A portion of sales from WE’RE WITH DOROTHY will benefit The Transgender Emergency Fund. The History Project-The roots of The History Project extend back to 1980, when a group of activists, historians, archivists, and writers was awarded a grant of $300 from the City of Boston to document Boston’s gay and lesbian history in conjunction with the city’s 350th anniversary. In the ensuing years, the group began to compile a slide show on LGBTQ history that was shown at bars, college campuses, and other venues. Ever since, THP has continued to pursue its mission of documenting, preserving and sharing the history of the Boston area’s LGBTQ community. THP now maintains one of the largest independent LGBTQ archives in the nation, which includes more than 250 collections from organizations and individuals encompassing more than one million documents. Collections range from the records of early Gay Liberation organizations and photographs of pre-Stonewall Boston to objects such as T-shirts and buttons and materials documenting the marriage equality movement. These documents and artifacts are processed and made available to researchers by a dedicated group of volunteers from the community who donate hundreds of hours of time annually to the organization. The Femmes-The Femmes are an all-woman and non-binary wedding band specializing in songs by female and non-binary artists. When you’re at a Femmes show, you’re at a high energy concert experience. Epic sing alongs, expertly crafted harmonies, and musicians who absolutely LOVE to interact with the audience, the Femmes are Boston’s go-to women’s party band! Our roster includes Berklee alumni, touring artists, veteran wedding band performers, and pit band musicians with over 10 years of professional experience. DJ Harlow Havoc- Boston’s self-proclaimed Party Girl, Harlow Havoc is a staple performer at Aeronaut’s monthly Drag Night. Harlow has also released 3 volumes of her self-produced, recorded, and mastered Èrratica– a series of all-encompassing house music. Each volume aims at highlighting and celebrating a defined sub-genre of house music. … This is a FREE event. This event is rain or shine. Event is 21+.
