Join us on Tuesday, December 7, at 5pm Eastern time for our Artist Spotlight! Our special online event celebrates the work of bold and amazing artists who have faced extreme risks and hardships under oppressive regimes.

Featured on Comedy Central, our headliner Mohanad Elshieky will treat us to hilarious standup and make us laugh at the seemingly unlaughable. Musician and activist Mai Khoi will perform several of her songs. Journalist Arzu Yldz will share her work and talk about the cost of freedom after she lost everything for reporting on government corruption and illegal arms dealing in Turkey. Writer and activist Hammadi Khelifi will talk about writing during the Tunisian uprising. Our event will be emceed by council member Carlos Menchaca, a tireless champion of immigrant rights here in New York!
