Mission Statement - FIGHT WARS NOT WARS! A lot of us know exactly who said this statement, and how relevant it still is today. Punk music has inspired thousands of people all over the world, bringing forth educators, artists, activists, and many other amazing people. Punk culture goes beyond music, it taps into a community of people who want to invest themselves in human rights, animal rights, and more. The “Peace Punk Fest” wants to revive the spirit, the lives, and the joy of people who have been a part of this community. Through fests/ events like the “Peace Punk Fest” we hope to inspire people to become more involved and to begin to more effectively organize, network, make friends, and have fun while gaining educational material and deeper insight. Through this event we can bridge Northern and Southern California punk and or activists. During our current political climate, we can see how punk is more so needed now than ever. The punk scene is an ever-growing community and movement, and through this event we hope it will gain more momentum. Punk is still a movement and a movement of social change!
