Our first fundraising event, which was held at Sky High Farm and drew hundreds of guests from throughout New York State, was a convergence and celebration of partners and co-conspirators hailing from the top to bottom of the Hudson River. A day of performance and conversation featured dancers from ABT’s RISE program, activists and performers from The Stonewall Protests and Black Trans Lives Matter, and members of Sweet Freedom Farm, Rock Steady Farm, The Black Yard Farm, Grow Black Hudson and Salaam BIPOC Community Garden. The funds raised through the event supported all participating parties.
