February 6, 2020 7:00PM BLACK LIVES MATTER PHILLY WEEK OF ACTION BENEFIT SHOW

This concert will feature African American performing artists in a celebration of Black Joy and Activism in Philadelphia. It is an opportunity to celebrate what public education truly means for Philly youth, families, and communities.

Proceeds of the ticket sales will go to the Black Educators Fund (co-sponsored by Black Lives Matter Philly and the Melanated Educators Collective), which is raising money to pay the out of pocket expenses teachers incur during the school year, provide resources to help educators decolonize their syllabuses, and make their classrooms accessible for students with disabilities.

Every year Philadelphia’s community of Black educators shrinks (Only 25% of the teaching force are Educators of Color), while our policymakers and elected officials fail to offer tangible solutions to this worsening problem. We know, Black teachers make a significant impact on the education of all students, but are particularly crucial to the education AND success of Black students, who have been historically underserved by America’s public education system.
