*Most proceeds donated to Camas Infoshop and Books*

The Camas Infoshop is a not-for-profit and collectively-run infoshop, bookstore and autonomous space located on Lekwungen Territory in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. Camas first opened its doors in September 2007, with the intention of providing a voice for anti-authoritarian and anti-colonial perspectives and local struggles, and helping to foster a spirit of solidarity with other such struggles taking place globally.

Our theme for this dance is "70's San Fran." Think leather caps, go-go boots, moustaches! No costumes are required. Please feel free to come however you feel best!

We strive to create a space that is safer for folks. We do recognize that it is impossible to create a completely self space. We envision a dance party that is pro-queer, pro-trans, pro-gender-queer, pro-ethnic, cultural, and racial diversity, a space that is welcoming and friendly for folks with different body types, ways of presenting, different abilities/different ways of moving, folks who are poor and low-income, and different belief systems. We oppose all forms of oppression, and work towards being as accessible and inclusive as we are able. We hope to be constantly challenged to continue learning and developing our anti-oppressive policies and practices and encourage those in our communities to do the same.

We ask all those attending our party to think critically about the costumes they choose to wear. For example, please be mindful of the potential for cultural appropriation to occur when choosing a costume. We aim to deal with any concerns raised in a productive and respectful manner.
