Join us Sunday, October 5th from 1:00pm to 6:00pm, for the first ever "Concert For Peace, People in Solidarity," to celebrate DC's  multicultural communities and call for end to the raids and deportations taking place in the metro area.

In the context of severe economic hardships, immigration raids, foreclosures, and displacement by gentrification, communities across cultures must stand in solidarity with each other. The festival aims to strengthen the bonds between immigrant and non-immigrant groups as we learn about each others’ cultures and histories and find ways to work together in a common struggle. The festival also calls for an end to immigration raids that only foster terror and division in our neighborhoods. The artists and participants of the Festival stand in solidarity with the families affected by the recent immigration raids in the DC metro area and nationwide.

"Concert For Peace, People in Solidarity" will feature percussion groups, hip-hop artists, salsa bands, and much more. This will be a family-oriented festival that will also host community organization information tables on safety, health, housing, youth programs, immigration, and services from organizations in the D.C. metro area. Religious leaders in the community will also participate.
