Beyond Bricks & Bars – Fundraiser Birthday Party!

It has been 6 years since Beyond Bricks & Bars was imagined into existence by the love, care and commitment of trans and gender diverse community inside and outside the prison walls.

This is a night to celebrate and recognise the staunch advocacy, fight and solidarity of currently and formerly incarcerated trans and gender diverse people, hold space for those who cannot be there with us and remember that no matter the walls in-between - we stand as community.

Please join us in celebrating the power of community and collective care as we continue to build the world we all need together.

Line up of performances TBA!

All proceeds raised will be donated to Beyond Bricks & Bars and the Incarcerated Trans and Gender Diverse Community Fund. 

• Donations to Beyond Bricks & Bars will go directly to the resourcing and training of formerly incarcerated trans people to create a Peer Support Program for trans and gender diverse people recently release from prison.
• Donations to the Incarcerated Trans and Gender Diverse Community Fund will go directly to providing ongoing mutual aid to incarcerated trans and gender diverse community across so-called Australia, including post-release payments to assist with rebuilding life after prison.

Beyond Bricks & Bars pays our deep respect to the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation who lands this event will take place on. We recognise the historic and ongoing violence of colonisation both on these lands and globally, and stand in solidarity with all First Nations people’s resistance. From the river to the sea, always was and always will be.
