On November 21st, as part of the Fall of Freedom, The Action Lab teamed up with Hands Off NYC to organize a concert in defiance of authoritarianism and unlawful federal attacks on New Yorkers! The legendary Smif n Wessun of “Bucktown” and Boot Camp Click headlined this powerful show at National Sawdust, which featured a host of up and coming talents as well. If you haven’t already, please sign up with the Solidarity Organizing Initiative and Hands Off NYC, to keep this powerful movement going.
