[act-ma] Trans Day of Visibility event

[Evan Greer]

Hi everyone,

Just a reminder that I'm hosting an event on Trans Day of Visibility at The
Rockwell theater in Somerville from 9pm - 11pm. It's a benefit for Harbor
Camps, a summer camp for trans kids, to help them purchase a new sound
system that campers can use during talent shows etc. Help make trans kids
louder!

There's a Facebook event <https://www.facebook.com/events/628372979058613>

I've also drafted a press release that I'm circulating to local reporters,

Hope to see you there,

“Visibility is Not Enough,” trans and nonbinary artists take over The
Rockwell on Trans Day of Visibility, March 31st

Show hosted by ONCE and Evan Greer will benefit Harbor Camps, a summer camp
for trans and gender nonconforming kids

SOMERVILLE, MA –– Trans and nonbinary musicians, drag performers, and poets
will take over The Rockwell Theater in Davis Square from 9pm - 11pm on
March 31st for “Visibility is Not Enough,”
<https://dice.fm/event/8xkr7-trans-day-of-visibility-31st-mar-once-at-the-rockwell-somerville-tickets>
a Trans Day of Visibility benefit show. The cabaret, organized by ONCE and
Evan Greer, will raise money for Harbor Camps, a summer camp for trans and
gender nonconforming kids, to help the camp purchase a new sound system.

“There’s so many bigots around the country trying to silence them, so we’re
raising money to make trans kids louder!” said Evan Greer (she/her),
Boston’s well known trans activist, punk songwriter, and former host of
Break the Chains, boston’s “best” LGBTQ dance party, “At a time when some
of the most vulnerable members of our community are under attack, we need
more than visibility, we need solidarity and action. That’s gonna be the
vibe at this event.”

The show features nationally touring performers like La Neve
