Concert: Not For Sale
FEBRUARY 15TH AT 7:00 PM
WITH ABOLITIONIST BAND "THE WRECKING" AND ETHAN BASTORE
Stand with those who are enslaved, work together to free them, and empower them in their freedom to break the cycle of vulnerability. The Not For Sale Campaign bridges knowledge to action. With our help, NFS is working to raise awareness and collective understanding about human slavery. But we live in a time and place where people are restless "to do something". In recognition of this desire to act NFS will be completing and distributing handbooks for action. What can you do? Information about "Not For Sale" and how you can get involved will be available that evening. For more information: katie.byrnes@yale.edu. Around the world people have taken notice: the breath of freedom is uniting people.
