About Event
At a time when racist attacks on immigrants and asylum seekers are on the rise, we’re coming together in a spirit of solidarity — standing with working people, refugees, and all those seeking safety from climate collapse, war, and violence.
This event is a fundraiser in support of several migrant families who have fled their homelands in search of safety and dignity. These families urgently need support for housing and legal assistance as they navigate the complex and often hostile immigration system.
There will be live music, poetry, delicious baked goods, original art, and handmade merch — all available for purchase. Every dollar raised will go directly to the families and to the ongoing work of the Migrant Defense Committee.
Let’s come together in care, resistance, and mutual aid.
