Over the summer, four friends arranged a private, backyard ACLU benefit that raised more than $2,000 to help families deal with the Trump administration’s completely fucked-up policy of separating immigrant families at the border and in the courtroom. More benefits weren’t in the works but then the hearing of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford — who accused then-U.S. Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexually abusing her in high school — happened. We all know how that hearing ended, and the frustration led those same friends to organize this concert where proceeds will be diverted to RAINN (the nation’s largest anti-sexual violence organization) and The Spring (a Bay area women’s shelter).

Happening at Seminole Heights’ 7venth Sun Brewing (the brewery’s co-founder Justin Stange was charged with misdemeanor battery over the summer), Friends 4 Women features music by all female-fronted acts, and organizers are encouraging cash donations as well as donations of personal toiletry items like soap, toothpaste, and shampoo. “We’ve received over a dozen extremely generous donations of gift certificates to local businesses, gift baskets and artwork for our silent auctions and raffles,” songwriter Shae Krispinky told CL. “The great thing about these benefits, and the Friends 4 Women benefit in particular, isn’t just being able to donate to great causes; it’s being able to say to all the powerful women and survivors we know that we see them, we stand with them, we support them — and to show them that support.”

Friends 4 Women w/Nervous Girls/Lassyu/Vetnough/Nathalia Estrada/Everything Issues/Same Day Delivery Orchestra/more. Sat. Nov. 24, 6 p.m. $10 suggested donation. 7venth Sun Brewery, 6898 N. Nebraska Ave., Tampa. INFO.
