Community rallies for vandalized Washington, D.C.’s only QTBIPOC-owned bar Sinners & Saints
The bar serves as a safe haven for queer, trans, Black, Indigenous, and people of color. The team says the attack feels deeply personal, but they remain resilient.
Sinners & Saints, Washington, D.C.’s only QTBIPOC-owned bar, was broken into and vandalized over Black Pride weekend in what the team calls a hate crime.
The bar serves as a safe haven for queer, trans, Black, Indigenous, and people of color. The team says the attack feels deeply personal, but they remain resilient.
Community supports Sinners & Saints bar
Following an outpouring of community support, the fundraising goal has been raised. Beyond initial repairs, funds will go toward a new security system and increased security presence to ensure the bar remains a safe space, especially as we celebrate Pride Month.
While the fundraiser goal has been met, the team is still accepting donations. They note we will be donating 15% of all donations to QTBIPOC Support Groups.
“This bar isn’t just ours—it’s yours. It’s a home built by and for the community, and your support means everything right now. If you’ve ever found joy, safety, or solidarity at Sinners & Saints, please consider donating or sharing this fundraiser.
Together, we can show that love is stronger than hate. We will NOT be silenced.
With gratitude and defiance,
The Sinners & Saints Team”
