Update from The Outrage:

“This is our third incident of vandalism in the last 3 months. We have adequate security measures in place and have promising leads on the suspects as we’re catching them on camera.

We’ve been an official partner for every major social movement since 2016 (think Women’s March, March For Our Lives, etc). We pride ourselves on holding space for progressive issues that uplift the most marginalized communities. For us, these types of attacks only highlight the need to keep doing the work. You can break our windows every day, but we’ll keep opening our doors.

We’re still open and need our community’s support now more than ever. If you want unapologetically progressive spaces like The Outrage to exist in the world, please stop by or sign up to be a member today. You can find membership applications here.

In community,
