🔥So, How did this come to be?
A short few weeks ago, one of our incredible organizers, @saima_saira saw @yousaama post on IG about being state-side and looking for Palestine fundraising opportunities. We reached out and he decided to come to our kick-ass city for this one-night-only event! Since making the call for venues and artists, we were flooded with interested local artists and had to make some tough choices. We are THRILLED to offer this incredible lineup of local artists and our new friend @yousaama, and we hope you become their new biggest fans.
(If you reached out to us with interest in performing or hosting: we are hoping to host this concert series regularly- and will be reaching out to you again in a few weeks!)
