Event
Be KIND.
My name is Courtneigh Summerrise, Im a Chicago native and current Bushwick resident. I am hosting a variety benefit show for Kids In Need of Defense (KIND). the show will feature local Brooklyn bands and comedians and take place on September 12 at Starr Bar. KIND is an organization that ensures children who enter the US immigration system alone are represented by high quality legal counsel. They also advocate for improvements in US law, policy, and practices to better protect unaccompanied migrant kids.
The inhumane and disturbing treatment of both undocumented and documented immigrants in this country is alarming. The effects of this civil rights violation will scar this country forever. But, it will also mark its victims. The most vulnerable will feel the effects of this infraction for generations to come.
Im deciding to take my outrage and channel it into action. So often service is grueling and sacrificial. Im asking you to join me in service that is revitalizing and progressive.
This event will have a 10 dollar ticket and all proceeds from ticket sales and raffles will go to KIND. No one will be turned away for lack of funds. If you can't donate at all please reach out to me. There are many ways to help.
If youd like more information on how to get involved please contact me at c.j.summerrise@gmail.com or 7082970510
