Our second annual Liberation Summer Kick-off was a blast and a brought more than 300 people together in community to dance to the amazing artists Combo Chimbita, El Hijo de Borikén, Maraca Bruja, and DJ Bembona who brought their soul, energy, and essential voices to the stage. We are also grateful to the special guests who blessed the mic, and to our Liberation Summer team who put this together. We are immensely grateful and energized to continue the work. We look forward to building off this momentum for the rest of the summer.
We Outside! Liberation Summer Officially Underway!
