The event aims to help build an anti-violence movement that prioritizes survivors, people of color, people with disabilities, immigrants, low- income and incarcerated individuals, queer people, youth and others who have been marginalized or silenced. It is a night of healing and transformation through the arts.

This event promises to highlight a diverse mixture of seasoned and new performers and artists alike. Show your support of SFWAR and CCWP by attending the silent auction held before the event. All proceeds directly benefit SFWAR and CCWP mission of supporting survivors and their healing.

San Francisco Women Against Rape (SFWAR) is a grassroots, political rape crisis center established in 1973. We provide support to survivors of sexual assault and their friends and families and using education and community organizing as tools of prevention.

California Coalition for Women’s Prisoners (CCWP) is a social justice organization, with members inside and outside prison, that challenges the institutional violence imposed on women, transgender people, and communities of color by the prison industrial complex (PIC). We see the struggle for racial and gender justice as central to dismantling the PIC and we prioritize the leadership of the people, families, and communities most impacted in building this movement.
