There will also be good food and conversation! Let us know you're coming by RSVP-ing at bit.ly/UjimaPSH.

CW: the following slides contain information related to gun violence

"To the People’s Solidarity Hub Community:

As you may have heard, there was a shooting in proximity to the PSH this Saturday. The building was occupied at the time of the shooting, but we are extremely grateful to share that no one (at the PSH or otherwise) sustained physical injuries. There are damages to the property.

We deeply appreciate the words and offers of support that many have extended. At this time, our priority is the wellbeing of those directly affected and the security of all future users of the space.

Based on the information that was shared with us, we do not believe this was a targeted attack on the People’s Solidarity Hub or the groups that use this space. Instead and unfortunately, it is believed that this incident was a byproduct of an altercation that happened in our community. We know that interpersonal and community violence are not distinctive to where we are and are in fact a result of the very same systems failures we are collectively working to overcome everyday and everywhere. We will hold this reality in a principled way as we determine and navigate next steps.

One of the posters that was damaged in the shooting held the following quote from Mariame Kaba: “Let this radicalize you rathen than lead you to despair. ”

And we will.

In difficult moments we must turn towards each other–our safety is bound up in each other. Thank you for standing with our community and the PSH at this time. "

Open Office Hours today!

Come on in to the teal building. We've got bagels, coffee, juice, books, and good energy.

Bring a mask, and we will see you soon!
