May Day Benefit Show to Support Migrant Families

All proceeds will go to El Comedor Comunitario, a local community kitchen run by and for newly arrived immigrants. This autonomously run kitchen has been operating in the Bridgeport neighborhood, focused on providing not only food, but also care, support, and solidarity within the community.

For more info on El Comedor Comunitario, check out this short documentary by A Prison Is No Shelter Media.

Come out to support the project, learn more about their work, and to show that Chicago opposes Trump’s racist attacks on immigrants!

This event is being organized by the FC St. Pauli Chicago, a local fan club for FC St. Pauli, a German football club committed to anti-racism and anti-fascism, with supporters around the world.

Now that we’re back in the Bundesliga, we’re usually found watching the games live at AJ Hudson’s. Hope to see you there.

We welcome FC St Pauli’s decision to leave X/Twitter for Threads and Bluesky and have opened accounts for our supporters club on both platforms. Find us there.

We meet regularly at AJ Hudson’s, usually at 7pm the evening of matchday. You can get in touch with us via email, fcstpaulichicago@gmail.com, or social media.
