First Season in Q***r Choir

karly is a q***r non-binary/trans human who is often an educator and documentarian. They are also making music, swooning, whittling spoons, practicing mutual aid, moving their body, laughing, gathering around a full table, slicing a cake. They feel wildly grateful to have lived on Ohlone land in q***r community for the last 16 years.

karly has been singing since they could make sound, but often reserved performance for serenading sweeties and diy recordings until very recently. Q***r choir is the first time they are singing in community, and it has been a deeply warm and growthful experience to share with this wonderful group. What a joy to be q***r and sing loud about it together.

Come hear karly and the rest of the Q***r Choir on May 12th at the Freight & Salvage. Ticket link in bio 🎟️

Although we can't come together in person, not even COVID-19 can stop the power of trans and q***r voices! The Q***r Choir has put together a digital performance of some of the songs we have been rehearsing, here in video form for your viewing pleasure! While we eagerly await the time when we can be reunited in person with each other and our communities, we hope that sharing our voices brings joy and connection to you in this challenging and transformative time.

While we are all in this together, this public health crisis and global pandemic has shown how many in our communities, often who are already vulnerable, are not receiving the same protections and access to services. If you enjoyed this video and have financial resources to offer, please consider donating to some of the many amazing organizations and projects dedicated to supporting folks during the pandemic and beyond. We are highlighting a few Bay Area and California relief efforts that aid undocumented folks, q***r and trans migrants, and s*x workers who have been impacted by this crisis. Please follow the links to learn more!

Oakland Undocumented Relief (OUR) Fund: https://www.centrolegal.org/our-fund/

Bay Area Workers Support: https://bayareaworkerssupport.org/take-action

Farmworkers COVID-19 Pandemic Relief Fund: https://farmworkers.hipgive.org

We hope this video inspires you to sing your heart out! We can't wait to see you again.

In Song and Solidarity,
The Q***r Choir

ACCESS INFO: Community sing is held on the ground floor (no stairs; front door is 40in wide). Our space is about 1 mile from Ashby BART, and usually has plenty of parking around. The bathroom is also ground-level, gender-neutral and single-stall (has a bar; doorway is 34in wide). We will mostly have folding wooden chairs to sit in (no arms), with some sturdier options. A cat does live in the building, in case anyone has a severe allergy, though they will not be in the space during community sing. Please help us make the space as scent-free as possible so everyone can participate by checking out the following information from East Bay Meditation Center: https://eastbaymeditation.org/resources/fragrance-free-at-ebmc/

Feel free to contact us with questions or additional access needs. IG ***rchoirsings
