Thick Thigh Collective is putting on this benefit to raise money and awareness for Black Lives Matter: LA as well as for the families of folks who have lost loved ones and their sense of safety to racist police terror and legislative negligence.

The show will be at the wonderful, awesome Gal Palace and will be $5 (suggested donation) at the door. Bands at 6PM, done by midnight.

Gal Palace is at 131 S. Rampart Blvd in LA. Parking is pretty bad near there, so folks are encouraged to uber, carpool, or take public transit! There is a bus that stops 5 minutes away.

There will be music by:
