Why this matters?: 

As our LA communities navigate significant policy shifts and systemic challenges, many feel the need to come together -  to  share stories, tend to each other + realize a compassionate city. Join us for dynamic artistic expressions and open dialogues focused on freedom, safety, prevention, restoration, reentry, and abolition. At the heart of this festival is a commitment to creating a space that fosters healing, builds solidarity, encourages networking. and leverages creative methods to support those most affected by the justice system.
