THIS IS A SAFE PLACE , WITH A ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY,

Que4
Our name depicts the true essence of our calling. Quennect 4 is a pathway for organizations, artists, and the independent community to connect with each other and with resources. When we say ‘Quennect 4’ we mean connect the music with art, the politics with people, and the freethinkers with a social setting. Our Spanish prefix “Que” means “what” as in we will connect the people with whatever they need. We will quennect 4 society, quennect 4 the people, and quennect 4 the voices that are silenced by mainstream outlets.

ChiResists is an independent, revolutionary, educational, community centered, art focused resistance effort.
