From It’s Going Down
Chris “Big Tex” G. is a community organizer from North https://spot.fund/g7t41scTexas who was arrested after a cop riot at a drag show in Fort Worth and indicted by a grand jury on bogus charges. Tarrant County officials immediately assigned a white collar special prosecutor who has acted at every turn to stall his requests for trial.
Subsequent to his arrest, Chris was served with a quarter million dollar lawsuit on behalf of the New Columbia Movement. NCM is a self-described “Christian-fascist fraternity” that has generated a personality around bullying those they don’t agree with. [Editor’s Note: According to investigative journalist, Steve Monacelli of the Texas Observer, self-described “Christian Fascist” Kelly Neidert is a member of the New Columbia Movement. Neidert has called for “rounding up” those who attend Pride events.]
Chris is seeking community support to bolster his legal funds for his criminal trial and to fund his litigation process through the civil trial slated for later this year. For more info on how to support, go here.
Accessibility: Show is indoors. Monkeywrench Books is wheelchair accessible, though the route to get to the front door is complicated–you have to go down to either end of the strip of businesses (by Bertha’s or Ermine Vintage) to get on the sidewalk leading to the door.
Masks will be encouraged, and free masks will be available courtesy of ATX Mask Bloc.
