Even though we’ve rescheduled, we urge you to support these artists. We all are devastated and horrified by what’s continuing in Gaza, and supporting them and these initiatives below are ways you can help today.
MASGD (Muslim Alliance for Sexual and Gender Diversity) works to support, empower, and connect LGBTQ+ Muslims.
MECA (Middle East Children’s Alliance) provides emergency aid to families in Gaza who have fled their home and require emergency assistance.
Support a critical fundraiser from one of our artists aimed at rescuing families in Gaza, who face displacement and danger due to the ongoing conflict.
Fellow Theatremakers, we urge you to sign and share this statement with Theatre Workers for a Ceasefire, calling for an immediate and permanent ceasefire and arts community solidarity with the Palestinian struggle for liberation.
