About the A.B.L.U.N.T. Collective

Club A.B.L.U.N.T. started in 1993 by a group of queer women of color in San Francisco. A.B.L.U.N.T. stood for Asians Blacks Latinas Uniting New Tribes. We are back this year with a new formation. The new generation of A.B.L.U.N.T. (Asians Blacks Latinx Uniting with Native Tribes) is committed to growth and learning within ourselves and our community. We are utilizing our platforms to amplify voices that are not being heard and organizing events in the community.
