Dingo, IT"S HERE!!

In case I haven't talked your ear off about it in the last 4 months, it stands for Breaking Assumptions and Barriers for Equality!
The women in Portland are sick of living in a supposedly unique subculture that bears all the misogynist, racist, and unchecked power tendencies of the culture that we're trying to undermine. We have planned three days of good, hard music, workshops and fun to get things moving in a different direction. This is about PUNK and METAL and FEMINISM and DESTROYING OPPRESSION.
