This is a difficult announcement to write, and we hope you’ll take the time to read it and help us support a woman in our community.

The queer community has come together, thanks to the orginazation of several caring individuals to hold a vidgil and on January 9th the Velvet Lounge in Oakland a fundraiser for ‘JD’ or Jane Doe to be able to move through this hard time with financial assistance.
We’ve donated memberships to CrashPadSeries.com for raffle prizes. If you know of anyone who has “Big Ticket” items to donate, please pass them along to tallonsong@aol.com. Volunteers also needed.
