Punk is standing up to oppression wherever it is found. This is a profound act of love.
We love ourselves, our friends, and our community too much to allow someone else’s opinions to keep us down. We stand up, shout out, punch up, and don’t punch out until the message is heard loud and clear.
Punk is an act of defiance. It is putting our collective foot down and using our spirit, bodies, and voices to scream when everyone else remains silent.
We are the shout from the rooftops, the alleys, and the street corner pub.
We are revolution when and where it is needed most. We sing, shout, dance, play, create, and live the spirit of disruption, not for attention but because sometimes the system needs someone to take a stand for those who are fighting every day to breathe.
To me, punk isn’t just the way someone dresses or acts. Punk is the way we live. Punk is the way we support each other. Punk is love. 🖤
