One struggle, one fight, no Pride without migrant rights.
Solidarity across minoritised communities forever, for together we are strong.
That's right, Drag Down the Borders and Bledi are back for a Trans Pride After Party bringing you a night packed full of outstanding drag and cabaret talent, astounding DJs, and a cracking raffle.
Trans people, like migrants, are used to being scapegoated and being the wrong 1% that the media loves to demonise. Fuck that, let's gather and dance and laugh and be in community raising funds for trans people and migrants across the SWANA region, Congo, Sudan, UK and France.
Come along from 6.30 for the stalls and to talk to some phenomenal migrant facing orgs and get involved in the fight against cruel immigration policies in the UK and abroad.
