The folks of TogetherSF have organized a weekly “West SOMA Cleanup”, on Saturday afternoons from 4 to 5 pm.

Volunteers meet at Driftwood (1225 Folsom St) to grab supplies and form a crew.

Stay afterwards for a free drink on the house!

Join the Civic Joy Fund, RefuseRefuseSF, Shine On, SF Public Works, and TogetherSF for this friendly neighborhood cleanup!

Kudos to Marc Morozumi of Mukunda Studios for all he’s done to make this happen.

LeatherWalk is now featured in the window of Walgreens at Castro and 18th Street. Thanks to Ken Ferraris and Richard Dupler for the installation.

Join the LeatherWalk community!

That was the theme at the  LeatherWalk Launch Party, held on August 15, 2023 at the SF Eagle.  While munching on tasty treats from MamaBear’s Kitchen, and enjoying a performance by Ryan Patrick Welsh, guests at the free event were encouraged to sign up as fundraisers for LeatherWalk, the LEATHER & LGBTQ Cultural District’s annual SOMA celebration and march, to be held this year on Sunday, September 17. 

Fundraisers will encourage friends to donate to their Personal Campaigns, helping the LEATHER & LGBTQ Cultural District to keep SOMA queer and kinky, and helping them to win the LeatherWalk Kinky Boot Award that will go to the top fundraiser.
