As-salaam alaykum! Happy November! The nights are growing longer and the air cooler. We watch another ceasefire give brief respite and yet the genocide continues. Violence is at a new high in Sudan and the Congo. In the U.S., we are entering our 34th day of a government shutdown and our first week of the suspension of SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) which feeds over 42 million people in need. And yet we dance. “Art isn’t a luxury. The dance floor isn’t optional. Community isn’t some nice-to-have. When the world falls apart, THIS is what holds us together.” ~ Lola Villa. Please take care. We do this together through mutual aid, gathering together, and healing through our connection. Thank you for supporting the work we do. Stay strong, keep dancing, and Free Falastin!
As so many families now struggle even more to eat after the suspension of SNAP, we are doing a fundraiser to help end hunger in America. No one should go without a meal, yet more than 47 million people in America face hunger. Every $1 donated helps provide at least 10 meals. It only takes a little to make a big difference. Please contribute TODAY! Additionally, all refreshment proceeds at our “Huriya” concerts this month will go to Feed America. So come enjoy our latest dance concert, be inspired, and support our local communities have the food they need. Together we do great things! DONATE HERE AND SHUKRAN!
