3RD ANNUAL Surrey Dyke March fundraiser!
Donation protected
Surrey Dyke March organizes on the ancestral, traditional, and unceded territories of the q̓ic̓əy̓, qʼʷa:n̓ƛʼən̓, kʷikʷəƛ̓əm, qiqéyt, SEMYOME, xʷməθkʷəy̓əm, and sc̓əwaθən məsteyəxʷ First Nations, also known as Surrey BC. We not only want to name this, but carry this knowledge with us in our ongoing decolonizing practice both as SDM organizers and inhabitants of these lands.
We are so excited to be beginning planning for our THIRD ever Surrey Dyke March, and we are reaching out again for support from community to make this happen!
Much like our previous two marches, this will be an event rooted in anti-oppression and community care, and we will not tolerate any hate or discrimination, including but not limited to TERFS/SWERFS, white supremacists, classists, those spreading anti-drug user rhetoric, etc. There is no pride in genocide, and any support of colonial states and institutions is not welcome.
We are seeking funding to allow us to hold this much-needed space this year. As we are a small team, these funds will allow us to buy supplies for signage, posters, and safety measures, and some snacks and water to fuel our organizers, volunteers, and attendees the day of. We are attempting to make our dyke march safer for all marginalized people who hope to attend, thank you for aiding us in that.
Funds will also be used to provide honoraria to our 2SQTBIPOC organizers to compensate for their additional labour and risk in organizing with us, as well as to compensate those providing ASL interpretation and an honouring of the lands, and finally for transportation costs for supplies and for those with physical accessibility needs. We also hope to be able to provide bus tickets again this year.
Thank you so much for considering contributing to us! More information can be found on our website https://surreydykemarch.carrd.co or on social media @surreydykemarch
We know that fund raising and sharing isn't the only way our community supports each other, especially as we dream of life beyond capitalism! Please reach out to us at the contact info above if you're interested in volunteering in any type of capacity.
