About this event

Community

Courtesy Solidarity Organizing Initiative. Tickets: $0-$25, pay what you can Purchase Tickets Inspired by Words to Melt ICE, an online anthology of creative works of dissent against ICE,  join us for an afternoon of select pieces from the anthology and a community open mic. Bring your words, your pens, your rage to what will be an event of healing and collective resistance.  Co-hosted by playwrights Amalia Oliva Rojas and Christin Eve Cato. Proceeds will support deportation relief efforts.  ABOUT THE ARTISTS The Stage Protects Us is a citywide initiative uniting two powerful ecosystems: frontline organizers working to protect immigrant New Yorkers, and a broad network of New York City performing artists ready to take action. We believe artists have a specific role to play in mobilizing and amplifying resistance to inhumane immigration policy by providing resources, tools, and training for the performing arts community to support the urgent work of frontline migrant justice organizers.
