For the past two years, I've been expanding my musical abilities with my friends. I was able to enjoy expressing myself, my gender, and my views through a vehicle of passion and love, for which April, John, and Colin share the same vision of this love for life through music. Unfortunately, the world is increasingly at odds with the freedom involved with being in this band. As I witness my people and others being subjected to fascism and monopolized violence, I cannot fathom to stand aside and merely be complicit in the destruction of my home, my culture, and that of those affected by imperialism and colonialism. For this reason, and with great pain but love for my musical comrades, I am quitting Anna Pest today. Life is limited to the time we have, and thus, I feel it is a choice I have to make to dedicate more time to organizing, to educate my friends on what is going on, and to fight back with an unrelenting love for humanity. Anna Pest is in danger, and so are many other LGBT-led projects. Our existence is an act of resistance. We will prevail. We will survive. We will thrive.
