Chimbites Fundraiser
Chimbites is a Support Network for Black, Indigenous, Trans, Non-Binary and Queer Latinx artists. Our mission is to encourage collaboration, community building and solidarity within the Queer Latinx community.
We are launching this platform with our first event: A fundraiser as a collective performance. Artists from the Latinx community and allies come together in solidarity of two organizations: Taking What We Need, and Dos Latinas.
About the organizations:
Taking What We Need is an informal volunteer-run community group dedicated to helping trans women, trans-feminine (AMAB) and two spirit people get what they need through discretionary funding, primarily in Tio'Tia:ke-Montreal.
Dos Latinas is an organization that provides food, basic hygiene products, contraceptive care and sexual education workshops that seek to protect women in marginalized territories in Colombia. Their work is crucial throughout the COVID-19 pandemic as the number of unwanted pregnancies augmented and the poverty situation is worse than ever before.
Menstrual cups and contraceptives will be sent to the womxn in Baru, Colombia, and their neighbouring islands and food baskets will be sent to the Afro-Colombian community in the urban Palenque in the city of Barranquilla.
The concert will be streamed in the day on September 11th, and the afterparty will be hosted by Club Quarantine on zoom!
