413 Says #CloseTheCamps

Artists in the 413 have come together to present 24 hours of performance including music, theater, dance, yoga and a full morning of family programming at the Shea Theater Arts Center from Saturday, July 27th at 8am to Sunday July, 28th at 8am. W

The festival aims to raise awareness of the desperate and inhumane state of Customs and Border Protection detention centers and the cruel policy of family separation. Artists and staff are donating their time and talents so all proceeds can benefit asylum seekers and families in the current border crisis. Proceeds of this event will go to RAICES Action Network, Immigrant Families Together and the Pioneer Valley Workers Center, organizations working in support of immigrants. #CloseTheCamps.
