From Grrrls Like Us:
Women of the Pit was established with the purpose of encouraging and supporting women/femmes in the hardcore community. From friendships, show meetups, networking, and highlighting business/bands, they strive to make the community stronger and safer by fostering a mindset that’s respectful to all. We found Women of the Pit through an Anti-Flag show in which they advertised that if anyone felt unsafe or uncomfortable in the crowd they were there to help and recently sat down with their admins/co-founders, Lori and Gina. The four of us talked about how Women of the Pit got started and our respective punk/hardcore backgrounds, the work they’ve done from hosting shows to donating merch proceeds, staying away from negativity, and how we can all work to be stronger together.
