Description

ATTENDING THE RALLY, MUSIC AND COMEDY PORTION OF THE EVENT IS FREE OF CHARGE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.

PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THERE IS A TICKET PRICE FOR THE INGLORIOUS BASTARDS FILM AT 8:00 PM.

This event is aimed at encouraging the community awareness about the ongoing racism that is present in our contemporary world and how we as locals can not only call out racism and fascism through humor, but also use comedy as a tool of solidarity and healing. Survival humor in the face of fascism, racism, and hatred is what allows our victimized communities to come together in strength. Humor has literally allowed humble people to endure unspeakable acts of violence and indignity. Humor helps tell our stories as well as portray fascism as the illness that it is.
