CANCELLED DUE TO RAIN! We’ll reschedule as soon as possible.
Get excited! They Beach season is upon us! On this Father's Day we'd like to create space for a community of chosen families on a day that typically celebrates this traditional family role.
Where: 63rd Street Beach
When: Monday, June 21
3pm-8pm
Pack your cute suits and sunscreen for the shores of Lake Michigan. There will be fun, music friends and trans/non-binary/polyamory flags marking our spot! They Beach will always be held next to the ramp and access boardwalk. 63rd Street Beach has a large parking lot.
They Beach only exists if you do. They Beach is a community movement that tranifests a safe, inclusive space for trans, enby, and queer folks to gather, connect, and have fun in the city. This can exist everywhere through collective action! (Shout out to our sibling organization @theybeachdetroit) Safe Spaces are created actively, not passively. Be part of the movement by holding this safe trans space. That includes no tolerance for hate, misgendering, or any behavior that harms another. This is a gender diverse/gender queer space that is unwavering in the conviction that Black Trans Lives Matter. (Allies are welcome too, but please be mindful of the space you hold)
We encourage the community to take care of one another! Watch out for your queer/trans fam! Bring an extra blanket or water bottle, share your sunscreen or shade, say hello to your neighbor.
This is a public beach space open to anyone and everyone. Please respect your surroundings accordingly.
Covid precautions:
- please stay home if you feel sick in any way
- we encourage everyone to test before they come
- masking is welcome and appreciated!
Major gratitude to the one and only @blanzy_design for their phenomenal design work! They've supported us with volunteer design for years now and we couldn't do it without them!
