Event

Better Together : A Concert for Change

It's easy to feel like there's nothing we can do in the face of the humanitarian crisis at the border, but there is. And we can start small, but do something big.

We plan to get 100 people together to donate $100 each and send a check for $10,000 to RAICES, which has teams of lawyers on the ground at the border helping separated families.

Join us for a night of great music and solidarity, a room full of people who all want to do something and start doing it together.

Line Up:
Eric Anderson (Cataldo)
Shelby Earl
Erik Walters (Silver Torches)
