Fluid Skate Collective is teaming up Hope Packages, a direct-aid program that assembles and distributes “Hope Packages” consisting of food and other necessary supplies, to raise funds for the next few months of distribution.
Bring a cash donation of $10 – $20 and whatever wheels you skate on for an evening of solidarity, hope, and community building. Skate for a city that takes care of its people. Bring your crew, friends, and family and cash in on hope.
When we come together and pledge to take on each other’s struggles, a community can survive the hardest of times. Skating has always been political, transforming public property meant to facilitate the movement of capital into places of use and pleasure. In the same way that cops harass skaters for being in public, they harass and even attack homeless people for daring to simply survive in public spaces because they, too, interrupt the movement of capital in and out of the city.
Skate culture is undeniably political, with twin histories of police harassment, arrests, and never ending attempts to sweep the streets clean of all that cannot be controlled. The fight for housing is everyone’s struggle, and its our task to keep people alive while we build the city up for better.
