The recent events in Orlando's Pulse Night Club was a targeted attack against the Latinx, Black, POC and Queer community that has left many still shaking. It was a loss of a safe space where many people came together to dance, heal and explore who they are.
Many of the victims/survivors, undocumented folks, are currently racking up incoprehensible hospital bills or indebted with funerary services.
LATINXO is a fundraiser, celebration of queer Latinx identity and healing dancefloor for those hurting. The event will take place July 8th from 7pm to 2am at YTB Gallery 563 Dundas Street East.
