On a dark chilly evening friends gather for good food, fun games, and supporting grassroots movements in Boston! That’s right: Liberation Games is BACK! Fight facism and winter woes with the power of community by putting the FUN into FUNding our movements.

Join us at Spontaneous Celebrations on Saturday February 7th for our 2026 Liberation Games. Last year we raised $6,272 let's break that record in 2026! All funds raised will go to support the following groups working to defend our community:

• Homes for All - defending against displacement
• LUCE Immigrant Defense Network - defending against ICE/deportation
• Mass Trans Political Coalition - defending against attacks on trans rights
• Mass Bail Fund - defending against criminalization/incarceration

Called to do more? Liberation Games is planned by a small group of volunteers. Join our team by signing up to volunteer here. As thank for your support all volunteers will receive free entry to the event.
