We’re thrilled to launch our new monthly series: Design Store After Dark — kicking off Friday, July 11 from 5–9 pm at 41 Ross!

Each month, we’ll be transforming 41 Ross into an evening gathering space for art-making, storytelling, cultural exchange, and community resilience. 💫

Design Store After Dark: We Protect Us | CCC 設計商店夜間系列: 我們守護彼此

🌟Free RSVP at https://www.cccsf.us/post/we-protect-us capacity is limited!

Our first event, We Protect Us, is a call to collective care and creative resistance. As threats against queer, trans, immigrant, and other marginalized communities escalate, we’re building knowledge, networks, and solidarity to keep each other safe.

🛡️ 5:30 - 7 PM Know Your Rights Workshop
Led by Chinese for Affirmative Action (@caasanfrancisco), this session equips participants with vital tools to protect themselves and their communities from immigration enforcement. Learn what to do if you or someone you know encounters ICE, and gain the knowledge to stand strong and united.

🎨 7 - 9 PM Poster Making Workshop
Led by CCC Design Store artist Katie Quan / @realsoul.art, this hands-on, family-friendly workshop invites you to turn powerful messages into bold visuals. Using bilingual slogans like “Abolish ICE” and “No One Is Illegal on Stolen Land,” participants will create posters that may be distributed to local businesses throughout Chinatown, turning art into public resistance. A Chinese translator will be on-site to support participants of all ages to speak their minds through art.

『了解你的權利』工作坊（由華人權益促進會主講）

面對當前聯邦政府移民執法行動的升級，移民社區正受到前所未有的威脅，華人權益促進會透過舉辦『了解你的權利』工作坊來支援社區。歡迎你參與我們的講座，學習如何在面對移民及海關執法局（ICE）時，能夠保護自己及社區。透過分享移民權益知識和社區資源，我們的社區將變動更團結強大，阻止更多的家庭被迫分隔異地。

社群海報創作（由 Katie Quan／REALSOUL 帶領）

準備好把知識化為行動了嗎？歡迎參加這場適合所有年齡參與的工作坊，邀請社群成員、藝術家與街坊鄰居齊聚一堂，共同創作強而有力的海報，為移民權益捍衛與發聲！我們現場會提供中英文雙語的靈感標語，例如：“廢除移民及海關執法局（Abolish ICE）”與“沒有人在被竊取的土地上是非法的（No One Is Illegal on Stolen Land）”。現場亦備有中文口譯支援，歡迎各年齡層的參與者透過藝術表達心聲。

此外，參與者還有機會將創作的海報投稿，未來有可能在整個華埠的商家中展示與流通，讓你的創意成為集體關懷與抵抗的訊息傳播。這場工作坊不僅僅是藝術創作，更是支持社群、提升本地商家、並以大膽而美麗的方式展現團結與行動力的機會。
