New England Leather Alliance supports all leather lovers through advocacy, education, and charitable provisions. The organisation is dedicated to providing a safe environment for pansexual leather enthusiasts and fetishists across the world.
On the alliance's website, you'll find a wide range of information and support aimed at building a strong, united community. The alliance also offers support for survivors of BDSM and consent s.
The strength of New England Leather Alliance is its diversity. It includes all groups of people from gay and straight to trans and everything in between. Both singles and couples are involved. And you certainly won't find any ageism here. It's a prejudice free zone.
New England Leather Alliance's standout events are its Fetish Fair Fleamarkets. This market is now the biggest fetish event in New England. Here you'll find a huge number of leather vendors and community groups catering to every taste. They also recruit volunteers. And this is the perfect way to mingle with like-minded kinksters and forge meaningful connections with a welcoming leather community. Check out the website for the next scheduled markets, classes, and courses.
The alliance has a long and respected history. It began back in 1991 in Boston. The early 1990s was a particularly challenging period for leather fetishists, with significant police harassment. The organisation was formed in response to a police raid on a private home used as a dungeon. The community banded together and began to put mechanisms in place to protect themselves and build awareness. There were soon regular Saturday meetings, and the group has since built a formidable reputation.
The best way to get involved is by attending the monthly board meetings. These are open to all. Here you can contribute to the leadership and direction of New England Leather Alliance. People are invited to help out with everything from artistic contributions to accounting and community relations.
A New England Leather Alliance Associate Card costs $25 for one year, and $40 for two years. It not only welcomes you into an active community but gives you free entry to the Fetish Fair Fleamarkets.
