A reminder and updates about Ungrounded event Tuesday, July 17th (Patreon)

A reminder about this important community input meeting at L7 tomorrow (Tuesday, July 17th) from 6:30 to 8pm to help preserve Wicked Grounds as a viable long-term community resource and institution. 

Wicked Grounds hosts events, provides education, helps queer/ trans/ kink folks find viable mental and physical health care resources, provides support drinks to those in need, and generally serves as the community hub for kinksters, poly folks, queer folks, trans folks, and the openminded vanilla folks of SOMA and beyond. Starbucks literally cannot replace our resources,  and their presence less than a block away would endanger our viability. 

Let's not forget that SOMA's Leather District is a Leather CULTURAL District -- not a Leather Historical District. It's all well and good for L7 to put in the lovely plaques commemorating SOMA's Leather history on Ringold Alley. (Seriously - it's wonderful. Go check it out.) 

That said: if Wicked Grounds is to continue as a viable cafe in SOMA, and not just another name on a plaque, we must rally together to preserve the current culture of our district. We must let Starbucks know that their presence within eyesight of Wicked Grounds endangers a critical community hub. 

Make your voice heard. RSVP for tomorrow's meeting, or simply send your feedback via email (aspiers@bergdavis.com). 

The San Francisco Kink Collective will be hosting an "after party" at the Stud starting after the meeting. Join us there to rabble rouse and keep the revolution going!
