We Keep Us Safe: A Community of Care Gathering

WE KEEP US SAFE: a community of care gathering is AMA’s response to the sweeps that ramp up before SXSW, and an opportunity for our Mutual Aid community to gather around our love for one another. Bring your wallets to tip our artists and contribute to AMA’s summer camp support. Bring tents to replace those that were lost in this year’s sweeps, as well as things like reusable water bottles, first aid kits, hygiene supplies, and other materials you know to be helpful to our unhoused neighbors.

Highlights:

Open Mic hosted by Flow_Sunshine_Flow: Whether you’re a musical artist, poet, a performer, or just love to enjoy live entertainment, this is your chance to shine or simply revel in the amazing vibes!

Presentation by Street Medics Austin: Gain valuable insights into community health and safety with a presentation by Street Medics Austin. Learn about essential first-aid practices and how you can contribute to a safer community.

This is a free event, open to all members of the community. Come with friends and family to enjoy a day of fun, learning, and togetherness. Let’s build a stronger, more connected community together!

The event will be held outdoors. Cenote has complimentary parking just two blocks south, in the large lot at the corner of East 2nd and Medina streets. General admission is on a first-come, first-served basis. Early arrival is recommended to secure your spot. Please note that securing a ticket does not guarantee a specific seat or placement within the venue as Cenote will be open for regular business during our event.
