SUMMARY:Papers\, Please! A Concert to Fight Houselessness
DESCRIPTION:Papers\, Please is a local folk / punk show where the ticket sales fund ID cards for unhoused people in the Bham area. You can buy your ticket here\, but yes\, we will be selling them at the door. \nFood Not Bombs and 50501 are using this event as a fundraiser\, the ID card fund will be given completely to One Roof – this will be after the bands and other vendors have been paid.

Pake \nTengen \nFNB firmly believes that anti-poverty work and community building are the best way to reduce violence and hate\, as well as our society’s capacity for war. There’s nothing you can do that disrupts the status quo better than being kind to others and helping your neighbor. That’s why we say\, “Kindness is the Revolution!”
