Activate! presents:
Over the years, local musicians have promoted a variety of causes and these last two weeks were dedicated to Punks for Presents and Richmond Reproductive Freedom Project benefit shows. If you would like to follow their lead and support some other important organizations this holiday season, tonight at 5pm we’ll hear bands who have used live music to support the Health Brigade, Transgender Assistance Program, Side By Side, Planned Parenthood, ReEstablish Richmond, Food Not Bombs, ICE Out of RVA, Operation Finally Home, and FeedMore.
