This Halloween dance party fundraiser celebrates the people, creativity, and community that make our work for social and environmental justice possible. Come in costume, bring your friends, and spend the night dancing, connecting, and building community — because joy is one of our most important Tools for Resistance. Click Here to Register Resistance takes many forms, and sometimes it looks like gathering together, making a little trouble, and dancing! Your support helps the Sanctuary continue creating spaces where art, science, media, and community come together to imagine and build a more just future. What are we fundraising for? Proceeds will fund a monthly Know Your Rights series in the 2027 Calendar year. Funds will allow us to pay local community groups that are already doing this work, and to help us spead this information through media. We are firm believers that one of the greatest Tools for Resistance is education and resource sharing!
