PEACE Out Loud:
Peace, Education, Arts & Creation for Everyone.
Hi loves!
We are almost ready to launch our membership program, with the goal for 50 new members per month.
And within the next few months we will also be rolling out our POL Marketplace.
But in order to get there, to a fully functioning membership portal and marketplace platform, we need your help!
Would you be willing to help us by donating $5-$5000+ to our newly formed nonprofit so that we can make this push to the membership and marketplace platforms? We are looking for one-time and monthly donations. We need to raise $100,000 by the end of May, and another $100,000 by the end of June.
You can:
Donate via our givebutter
Send via Venmo PayPal or Zelle
And whether you can donate or not, can you please share with your friends, neighbors, mattress money aunties, rich uncles, generous guncles, tech sugar theybies, etc etc.
And yes…these donations are fully tax deductible!
If you have any questions, please DM Ira via sms or signal message or email question@peaceoutloud.org
Thanks so much for all you do to make it possible to make a world that is safe and free for Black, Brown, Indigenous, trans, queer, intersex, disabled, poor, and neurodivergent folks.

Ira X and the PEACE Out Loud Community
Who We Are
Peace Out Loud is based in South Berkeley, Oakland and San Francisco, California and is a neighborhood social permaculture project of building self-determined community through youth programs and adult coaching programs. As educators, we are committed to creating the conditions for all families to comfortably grow into being their full selves. As social permaculturists, we identify the needs in our community and co-create programs in response to those needs. Our team is composed of black, brown, queer, trans and poor people with a passion for care, social justice and playfulness!
“There are words, thoughts and emotions that cannot be expressed unless they are performed. ”
— ira Armstrong, Founder
Peace Out Loud was started by Ira X Armstrong (FKA Nanci Armstrong-Temple), an activist, educator, organizer and social permaculturist. They are the child of a Black revolutionary/former Black Panther father and a white abolitionist Unitarian Universalist Mother. Ira has worked as an educational anthropologist and activist with over 20 years of experience as an educator. They have taught and begun music, dance, garden, coaching, and musical theater programs in Alameda, Oakland, Berkeley and Los Angeles unified school districts, Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, churches, the YMCA and street parties up and down the 101 and back.
Our Mission
We strive to create a world liberated from oppression in all its shapes. We welcome children of queer and trans parents, children of sex workers, children of all gender expression, abilities and ethnicity. Our program is sliding scale with no one turned away for lack of funds.
