ResisDANCE Mission Statement:
“It is hard to imagine a time when gay men, people of color, women
and others systematically persecuted and repressed, felt as free as they
did in the New York discos of the late ‘70’s.”
-Barry Walters from Night Fever, The Bill Bernstein Photographs
New York City. An electric, innovative, extraordinary city - teeming
with life, fueled by the ambitions and desires of its inhabitants,
including those of the 12 million immigrants who arrived on Ellis
Island’s shores in pursuit of a better life in America. A city that has
historically served as a vibrant, diverse haven, no matter from where
one hails, a place where you’re free to chase your dream, to let your
freak flag fly - high. A city that simply serves as home to all.
The current administration has openly threatened our common principles
and values, our civil liberties and constitutional rights. In response,
we strive to provide support to the organizations leading the effort to
protect those very liberties and rights. Through the power of inclusion,
love, and dance, we will come together, find community, raise funds and
resist!
Each individual event in the series will highlight and support a
specific organization which advocates on behalf of a more inclusive and
just America - Planned Parenthood was the first, on March 5th, 2017.
