Accessibility Notes
Liberating Ourselves Locally (LOL) is wheelchair-accessible, including a brand-new accessible restroom, except for no push-buttons on the front door. The restroom will have been painted with zero-VOC paint about 1 week before the show. Air purifier will be running.
Eastside Arts Alliance is fully wheelchair-accessible.
Oakland SOL's entrance does not have a push-button opening and the restroom has been a tight fit in the doorway and has a smaller turnaround radius, but has been workable for friends using wheelchairs.
* Please show up fragrance free in order to avoid getting our staff, friends, loves, and community sick. Get info here: http://eastbaymeditation.org/accessibility/scentfree.html
* Deadline to request ASL interpretation and childcare (email stay@peacockrebellion.org): 10/30
