Vegan taco night in Hackney
Black Cat Hackney and Huitzmil present Tacos Against Borders, a benefit for Akwaaba.
Akwaaba is a Hackney-based social centre for migrants. They offer a space for rest, play, learning and mutual support. Akwaaba is for all migrants regardless of immigration status, ‘race’, religion, country of origin, age, sexual orientation, gender identity and (dis)ability.
Akwaaba doesn’t currently have a venue and they are putting all their efforts towards securing one, so you can support them by attending this event (and letting them know about a spare venue if you know of one!). They need space every Sunday so a school hall in the Hackney area would be perfect.
Now… onto news of the event taking place inside Black Cat Hackney this Sunday December 5, 2021 at 6:00PM.
