Dear beloved City Council,
I am writing in support of my friends at Bang the Drum. Since I moved to SLO, Bang the Drum has been a valuable
community space for programs that I love - DJ sets, music, dance shows, and community partnership events like
Race Matters' Stories Matter. In recent news regarding them having to vacate their property, I ask that the City
allow them to stay in their location through the end of July - allowing them to be open for Pride month and for a
queer wedding scheduled for mid-July. This will give them a little more time to find a new solution and pivot
potentially to a new space.
I also ask that the City continue providing speedy and consistent information and response to them and their
team.
Thank you so much for considering.
