n this special episode of The Hang!, host Scott Saldinger sits down with Susan Proctor, the CEO and founder of Punk Rock Gives Back, a nonprofit built on the belief that punk rock isn’t just music—it’s community, compassion, and collective action. What began as a response to the isolation of COVID has quickly become one of the punk scene’s most inspiring charitable forces, supporting dozens of causes while uplifting artists, musicians, and nonprofits throughout the year.
Susan shares the deeply personal story behind her journey into punk rock, a path shaped by her son, her search for belonging, and the transformative sense of unity she discovered at shows, festivals, and long lines outside venues. As she explains, punk has always been a place where people from all backgrounds come together with the shared belief that the world can be better—and that we each have a role to play in making it happen. This spirit is the foundation of Punk Rock Gives Back, which exists to “support everyone” by providing practical help, fundraising support, and charitable platforms to both artists and organizations.
The episode dives into the excitement surrounding the December 13th Charity Show at Alex’s Bar in Long Beach, a free 21+ matinee event featuring Empired, The Jack Knives, Spark of Life, Rudy Nuno, Unsound Sunday, and a special DJ set from Danny Thompson of Face to Face. Alongside the live performances is the 3rd Annual Ornament Auction, showcasing more than 75 mini-masterpieces created by artists, musicians, photographers, and designers from across the punk community. Each ornament is linked to a charity chosen by the artist, with 100% of proceeds going directly to the cause—all fees covered by Punk Rock Gives Back so every dollar makes an impact.
