<aside> 📢 *Soapbox Project is virtual, but SOAPBOXFEST 21 is "located" on the unceded ancestral homeland of the Ramaytush Ohlone peoples, recognizes that, as the original stewards of this land, the Ramaytush Ohlone understood the interconnectedness of all things and maintained harmony with nature for millennia, and honors the Ramaytush Ohlone peoples for their enduring commitment to Mother Earth.

We are contributing to rematriation efforts by donating a portion of our proceeds to support the Shuumi Land Tax.*
