Nothing but gratitude for the support we’ve been shown since our nightlife conference last month hosted by @peoplessoundsystem and @dublab . We’re just $400 short of our goal! Please share or donate if you have the means so we can reimburse what our organizers contributed to pull together the best possible event ❤️ Venmo @peoplessoundsystem As always, it is in alignment with our values to pay every speaker, worker, rental and food vendor who dedicated their time, energy and expertise to hold such thoughtful and empowering discussions, set the space properly, and feed the people. If you haven’t already, we invite you to reach out if you’re interested in getting involved. We’ll be announcing our next event off instagram, so DM us and we’ll link you to our other channels 🌚

More highlights from Who Owns the Noise conference hosted by People’s Soundsystem and Dublab. We are so grateful to all the nightlife cultural workers and community members who showed up and contributed to essential conversations of political organizing within our dance music scene. While we’re excited to get back to our ongoing projects, we’re in a final fundraising push to help pay off the costs of producing the event. We are a 100% grassroots project, funded entirely by ticket sales and organizers’ personal funds. Please donate or share to help us meet our remaining goal of $700. If you are able to offer additional support, contributions are greatly appreciated @peoplessoundsystem on Venmo.

⭐️ VENDOR HIGHLIGHT + MENU ⭐️ We couldn’t be more thrilled to announce Peoples’ Café as our food vendor for Who Owns The Noise at @dublab March 15 Peoples’ Café, an autonomous solidarity group located around greater Puvungna of the Los Angeles Basin, is a collective of herbalists, gardeners, vendors, artists, and hood scholars, among other disciplines. Their focus is providing direct support to dispossessed communities across Turtle Island; addressing food insecurity by providing delicious, healthy and nourishing meals is just one of the many ways their community work takes shape. In addition to their food truck, they also have a physical space: Memories of El Monte / Casa de la Memoria is a volunteer-run QTBIPOC community arts space in Houtngna (El Monte) offering free food, clothing, popular education, art classes and music lessons. Inspired by the survival programs of the Black Panther Party and the autonomous cooperatives of the Zapatistas, Memories of El Monte and Peoples’ Café build upon the work of the El Monte Tenants Union and have expanded their food distributions to a biweekly basis for over 150 families. If you want to help sustain their work in cultivating the arts and addressing food insecurity, please consider donating to or sharing their Gofundme / Patreon 💫💫💫💫 ✨🍲🫑🍅 All GA tickets include a meal 🍅🫑🍲✨

WHO OWNS THE NOISE? ⭐️🚨 Ticket link live now 🚨⭐️ In a moment where struggles for liberation at home and abroad are deeply intertwined, and where it feels increasingly unsafe to gather, grieve, celebrate and make art together, we are being called to fiercely protect our underground scenes and cultural practices. People’s Soundsystem is bringing together a number of community leaders to address issues facing our nightlife spaces such as artwashing, community accountability, cooperativizing and cross-border underground infrastructures, among others. We are excited to be partnering with dublab, a homegrown LA radio station and a pillar of community across multiple artistic scenes, as they provide the space for this conference and continue to invest heavily in these conversations and opportunities through the medium of radio. We celebrate being in collaboration with orgs such as Subvert, Living Earth, The Death of Glitter, TraTraTrax, The Chapter House, Artists Against Apartheid and more! How can we ensure that our spaces remain protected and politicized? How do we use our sound systems to push and inspire messages of collective liberation? We look forward to exploring these concepts with you through panels and workshops hosted by Jasmine Nyende, BAE BAE, DRAGMOTHER and NYKSAN, to name a few. Tickets are limited due to capacity with multiple tiers available to accommodate a range of needs. See you soon 🔊🔊🔊

Who Owns the Noise? A nightlife conference produced by People’s Soundsystem & dublab This is a ticketed event with limited availability! Tickets available through RA at the link in our bio 🎟️🚨 People’s Soundsystem is a project started by artists for Palestinian liberation in LA that centers nightlife workers such as DJs, musicians, bouncers, bartenders, custodians, and venues. We are organizing around real ways to use our skills, networks, and creativity to build the movement for justice and liberation… from Palestine to right here at home, in the lineage of DJs Against Apartheid in NYC. This conference is a call back to a DIY conference several of us hosted at LACAN in 2020 called “Know Your Fight, Know Your Rights.” That gathering brought together over 150 participants and addressed nightlife issues like art-washing’s contribution to gentrification, safety, and policing in our art and music communities. We teamed up with Stop LAPD Spying Coalition after an underground show with many QTBIPOC show-goers was violently raided by police in 2019. This time around, we’ve teamed up with Artists Against Apartheid to contextualize these issues within a larger framework of collectivized and politicized artists, show-goers, and hosts, through music, speakers, workshops, and discussions focused on cooperativizing, resisting, and politicizing our cultural spaces. Stay tuned.
