Philly Edition: Global House Party

Recess Global House Party is a single night for our far-reaching community to come together and raise awareness, support, and money for racial justice — throwing an epic dance party in the process. This is a decentralized event with individual hosts and events coordinating around a singular cause. There will be an online live stream of Blues music — ​playing at parties around the world — DJ'd from cities across the globe. PHILLY DETAILS: Where? The Butter Barrel, 4908 Cedar Avenue When?

The Black & Brown Workers Collective (a Philly grassroots organization) Check out their website:https://www.bbwcphilly.org/ In their words: "Our mission is to actively challenge, resist and dismantle systems of oppression that adversely impact the Black and Brown worker. Thus, we push for the social and economic liberation of the Black and Brown worker." "As a Collective we recognize that true radical transformational work will not be funded by the government, but rather supported by community members like you. Because government funded initiatives control what organized community members and collectives can do on the ground, we have decided not to accept government money that silences our voices and stops the People’s Movement."
