Please come out and support POC led anti-racism work here in Tompkins County!

Jammin’ for Justice is an all day event on August 18th striving to bring people from all sectors of our community together to recognize the impact of the work of two local organizations, Southside Community Center and the Multicultural Resource Center who work on various issues that address cultural and systemic oppression in our local and national landscapes through the power of organized arts and culture-- and to celebrate in this coming together as a part of healing the multigenerational/centuries-old wounds that exist in all of us and our communities.

Conversations, creative expression of all kinds, and information sharing regarding our collective past, present and future will be encouraged.  Community building and grassroots action led by those most impacted is our long-term goal.

The day will begin on the West End of MLK St. and proceed sequentially towards the Ithaca Commons through the afternoon and into the evening – 

The Westy                                                    Noon - 2:00pm
