Neosoulsters Lady Bright, the 30-piece Rude Mechanical Orchestra, Old Hat and the Eskalators (pictured) will perform at Silent Barn (8pm), with all proceeds benefiting RightRides, a nonprofit started in 2004 as a direct response to attacks on women walking home alone. RightRides is currently available every Friday and Saturday night from 11:59pm to 3am; SafeWalk, RightRides’ sister program, offers individuals a free walking escort to any destination every Friday night from 11pm to 2am.
“To date, we’ve driven 2,000 riders safely home,” says cofounder and executive director Oraia Reid.
Tonight, contribute to RightRides operational costs by kicking in anywhere from $6 to $8 for the aforementioned live music bill. Plus, sample tasty vegan (and non) baked goods, and stop by RightRides’ informational tables —they can tell you everything you need to know about how to get involved as a volunteer. As they say, “getting home safely shouldn’t be a luxury.” We couldn’t agree more.—Pearly Huang
