Yesterday, our beloved bar, Sinners & Saints—the only QTBIPOC-owned and operated bar in DC—was broken into and vandalized in what we can only describe as a hate crime. As a safe haven for queer, trans, Black, Indigenous, and people of color in our community, this attack feels deeply personal. But we refuse to be intimidated.

For the past year, we’ve provided a space where marginalized and underrepresented QT folks can celebrate, heal, and find family. Now, we’re facing significant losses from stolen inventory and property damage, and we need your help to rebuild. Every dollar raised will go toward recouping what was taken and repairing our space so we can keep our doors open for those who need it most.

Additionally, we will be donating 15% of all donations to QTBIPOC Support Groups.

This bar isn’t just ours—it’s yours. It’s a home built by and for the community, and your support means everything right now. If you’ve ever found joy, safety, or solidarity at Sinners & Saints, please consider donating or sharing this fundraiser.

Together, we can show that love is stronger than hate. We will NOT be silenced.

With gratitude and defiance,

The Sinners & Saints Team
