Boycott Room DC

BR OUT of DC! PLEASE NOTE - TIMING ON SHOTGUN TICKETS IS NOT FINAL ! EVENT IS PLANNED FOR TWO PERIODS - 9.11 NIGHT AND 9.12 DAY // EARLY EVENING! In January of 2025, Boiler Room was acquired by Superstruct which is owned by KKR, the second largest private equity firm in the world. KKR has directly invested in the genocide of Palestinians and the violent theft of indigenous land. KKR has continually used the cultural sector as a means of masking their global violence campaign through the veil of art and music. Boiler Room is a company built on the exploitation of underground dance culture in order to legitimize their brand and support their fascist investors. DC does not need Boiler Room and its blood money in order to showcase local talent and build a platform for the artists, musicians, and organizers who diligently work to create community spaces. Boycott Room DC is a congregation of different community-based groups who will not let their creativity and space be a smokescreen for capital, control, and genocide. Our goal is not only to directly divest energy and money away from Boiler Room DC but also to fundraise as much money as possible to be donated to those most affected by KKR’s investment in Israel. Please join on September 11th and 12th for a host of events from a nighttime rave to a daytime market and film festival. We aim to showcase what DC’s underground scene really has to offer. 100% of ticket proceeds will be donated directly to families and initiatives on the ground in Palestine. All vendors are committed to donating between 50-100% of what they raise.
