On April 1, 2006,Burner Kids, Black Rock Citizens of Reno, the Black Rock City Bookmobile, Controlled Burn, dancers, fire spinners, musicians, potluck feasty foods, libations, robots and art cars all descended on Skoosh Ink for the annual Reno Recompression party. B.E.D. Buddy Cha Cha (Ben) went along to set up a table for B.E.D. He managed party a bit and have a little fun too!
Cha Cha writes, "This year, I was very fortunate to come across B.E.D. and their sex-positive approach to raising awareness about violence that can and has happened out on our beloved playa. Jazzed about spreading the message, I brought our literature, buttons and info board to the Recom party! I met many awesome folks that evening - men and women - and had great opportunities to talk about the workshops and message that B.E.D. promotes. Everyone I spoke with were pretty intrigued about the t-shirts and panties we’ve created, and will look for us out at BRC this year."
"Towards the end of the evening, a young woman came by and asked for information because she something had happened to her on the playa… she later said that our visibility, and having so many peeps she felt safe with, gave her the courage to step forward and ask for help. We were able to give her some the resources that she needed to get started."
Thanks to Cha Cha for respresenting us in Reno! We are so proud that you were there and that we could be of help to someone in need. |
