Brought to you by the same group that organized the 6-14 Queens Says No Kings march on Queens Blvd, join us at our next event!

We are really excited to bring local groups and neighbors together to network and create new partnerships. We want everyone to come away with something more they can do to protect our democracy and our neighbors.
We also believe art, music and stories are a form of resistance and resilience, so we will have activities for art-making, art-sharing, open mic, bingo, and children’s table. Food will be available for sale on the first/second floor (they take cash, debit, credit cards). We hope it will be a fun time to connect and create.
Doors open at 6pm, and the event starts promptly at 6:30PM and goes until 8:30PM. On GPS, the venue is called “Astoria World Manor”, but on the building, the sign says “The Lior.” Free parking (drive down an alley left of the venue). The venue is accessible. We will be in a large beautiful ballroom on the 2nd floor.
Free! All invited. Bring family and friends.
Please email stsfr.queens@gmail.com if you have any questions.
