Join us, build with us and unite around an issue that affects all families and all communities. Featuring music, poetry and moderated dialogue with local activists, performing artists and literary icons.
Among other pertinent issues of the day, this event will aim to increase awareness for the missing Black girls in D.C. through catalyzing both conversation and action around the growing epidemic of abducted Black youth nationwide. Although this tragedy has afflicted families and communities on the east coast, we are here in the spirit of solidarity. We will also discuss the horrific conditions of the prison system, the importance of knowing our civil and human rights, and we will address many other injustices faced by oppressed people here and abroad.
