Amy Winehouse Tribute: New Venue! This Thursday!

/

Due to the overwhelming excitement for FOR YOU I WAS A FLAME, the event will now take place at the Gladstone Ballroom. (Special shout out to Holy Oak for being so awesome.)

All proceeds are going towards the following initiative:

COUNTERfit’s Drug Users’ Memorial Project was established to acknowledge the high number of drug user deaths due to the Drug War. Drug users continue to be stigmatized, criminalized and marginalized on a daily basis in our city. These effects are heightened for drug users living in poverty, sex workers, those infected with HIV and/or Hepatitis C, people struggling with mental health challenges and/or those from racialized communities. Currently, there is no public memorial to acknowledge the deaths of drug users. The Drug User Memorial Project is creating a permanent outdoor sculpture in copper to remember and celebrate the lives of drug users who have died.

SEE YOU THERE!
