Testimonials 🌈

  • F.Y

    “At moments when I didn’t even believe I could get to complete the rent with my partner, Riot helped significantly with helping us raise funds to not only get a space but also keep us afloat for a while and I’m forever grateful for that.”

  • D.D

    "Riot is one of the kindest souls I know. When it comes to mutual aid, community resources, etc they not only make sure but reaffirm that everyone needs help and it’s okay to ask. They've helped me a couple times in dire situations and words cannot express how grateful I am. They are good what they do and the world needs more people like them."

  • Mistrix Violeta

    “Riot’s harm reduction supplies are such a deeply needed resource for our community. As someone who is a sex worker and shares space with people who use drugs, I have found their supplies and educational information deeply useful and life-changing.”

  • Alex, Member of Boston Covid Action

    "Riot is so kind, knowledgeable, and incredibly present with everyone who stops by their table. I've personally watched xem jump into action to answer all the awkward questions people are afraid to ask, destigmatizing queer sex and drug use and making sure everyone leaves their table with the supplies they need to stay safe. Even when he can't help folks (like when kids stop by), he sends them on their way with a sticker and a big smile! Riot brings so much joy and intentionality to their vital work-- our community wouldn't be the same without them.”

  • L.T

    “Riot is an amazing community organizer who prioritizes black trans people , disabled people , single mothers and also providing essential life saving harm reduction kits at events. riot has fostered this with so much accessibility and has been a crisis responder as long as i've known them ! I've been able to be housed because of the network that riot has woven to provide crucial and urgent resources”

  • Ru, 1 of the producers of Haus of F️*G

    “Riot is an absolute ray of sunshine who provides an extremely essential service within the rave scene! The provision of free harm reduction at our events has enabled all of our attendees to maintain a safer and more aware environment. Riot is truly a pillar of the boston community and an angel to have at any event!”

  • Aster R*sk (they/she/it), 1 of the producers of R!SK

    “Riot is a pillar of the community, a pleasure to work with, and an all around sweetheart! It is truly incredible how many services they provide and how many spaces they provide services to - let alone that they ask for nothing in return! 10/10 would recommend!"
