Surrey Dyke March

Surrey Dyke March organizes on the ancestral, traditional, and unceded territories of the q̓ic̓əy̓, qʼʷa:n̓ƛʼən̓, kʷikʷəƛ̓əm, qiqéyt, SEMYOME, xʷməθkʷəy̓əm, and sc̓əwaθən məsteyəxʷ First Nations, also known as Surrey BC.

 

We are so excited to be holding the first ever Dyke March in so-called Surrey BC this coming August!!

 

This will be an event rooted in anti-oppression and community care, and we will not tolerate any hate or discrimination, including but not limited to TERFS/SWERFS, white supremacists, classists, those spreading anti-drug user rhetoric, etc.

 

We are seeking funding to allow us to hold this much-needed space this year. As we are a small team, these funds will allow us to buy supplies for signage and posters and some snacks and water to fuel our organizers and attendees the day of. We are attempting to make our dyke march safer for all marginalized people who hope to attend, thank you for aiding us in that.

Funds will also be used to provide honoraria to our 2SQTBIPOC organizers to compensate for their additional labour and risk in organizing with us, as well as to compensate those providing ASL interpretation and an honouring of the lands, and finally for a van rental for those with physical accessibility needs. 

 

Thank you so much for considering contributing to us!
