All proceeds will go to Victoria Central American Support Committee (CASC), one of the longest-running Latin America solidarity organizations in North America bringing connection, education, and organizing to the struggle. Imperialism, the highest stage of capitalism, is in full force with the USA brandishing its fangs upon the Americas trying to tear away life and sovereignty to satisfy it's hunger. CASC's solidarity is much needed in these trying times.

A Commie Bop is freedom in motion—a song, a poem, a spell, a skit, a  dance against the grind of colonial capitalism. It’s where creativity  smashes exploitation, where solidarity squeezes alienation, and where we (yes, we, the ridiculous and unruly) celebrate our collective fire.  This is a space to howl anti-capitalist anthems, share art that bites  back, and honour past and future generations. Leftist debates? Vital.  But tonight we revel in the kaleidoscope of our movement, checking our  purity test kits at the door with our hearts open to each other’s  stories. We have license to be silly little peasants! Think Carnival  mocking lords and kings… 

Open Mic Sets: Your offering does NOT need  to involve a complex analysis - our day-to-day experiences put us into  the crosshairs of capitalism’s contradictions. Sets should be 10 minutes or less. Please explain why you chose or wrote what you’re sharing.  Performers are encouraged to make space for audience participation -  teach us your chorus, wrangle us into your skit, add call and response,  or bring up Alice to play the tambourine or the triangle.  All acts should, in their own unique way, call for an end to exploitation and  discrimination. This space celebrates dignity. Check lyrics for  oppressive and triggering language (racist, sexist, ableist, SWERFS, TERFS, etc.). We fight systems, not each other. Please respect the venue.
