Standing in solidarity with communities in Minnesota and across the country, we gather in grief and resolve to call for dignity, safety, and human rights for all. For eight hours, artists, elected officials, and community leaders will hold the floor, sharing words and songs as a living call to action. In partnership with The Public, Hands On is ensuring this event is accessible to the Deaf/HH community. In this moment, we return to the promise of our democracy: life, liberty, and justice for all.

Did you know? HELL’S KITCHEN is inspired by Alicia Keys’ NYC roots including the iconic Manhattan Plaza, a legendary artist-friendly housing complex in the heart of Hell’s Kitchen. While the story is fictionalized, the music, spirit, and community that shaped Keys are very real. Experience it live on Broadway at the Shubert Theatre! 🏙️✨ February 5th at 7 PM 🌟
