Help us raise $7,500 over the next 24 hours to ensure 150 of our 2SLGBTQ+ community members have the coats, boots and other winter essentials they need as the temperatures drop.

Purchase a tee in support of The 519

Our brand-new Army of Lovers tees will be available at Green Space Festival and online.

Why is this important, you ask?

• We’ve witnessed an unprecedented increase in anti-2SLGBTQ+ hate impacting drag performers among others in our communities. Wearing this tee is a symbolic commitment to defending the rights and safety of all those who make the world beautiful with their drag.

• All proceeds from t-shirt sales will go to support the important year-round work of The 519.
