BOILER ROOM HAS SOLD OUT!!!
It’s now owned by KKR – the 2nd largest private equity firm in the world. KKR invests in some of the world’s worst violences, including:
🔗data centers in Tel Aviv that surveil Palestinians and are a central feature of the ongoing genocide
🔗The Coastal Gas Link Pipeline – a pipeline that cuts across unceded Wet’suwet’en land in Canada, and has been both 🔗fiercely resisted and extremely repressed
78% of their portfolio is in 🔗fossil fuels, catalyzing the destruction of our planet, in the endless pursuit of wealth
This means that every ticket to Boiler Room, and every DJ who plays a show with them, DIRECTLY contributes to strengthening KKR’s entire investment portfolio.
