An LP community call for participation and celebration!
The Laundromat Project’s annual peer-to-peer fundraising campaign organizes the collective power of the people. This year, Get Organized: Culture. Power. Movement. will give a historical grounding in the legacy of artistic traditions of communities of color that have inspired and driven resistance and change. Over the course of ten days, we will explore how today’s cultural producers of color continue to move us toward collective liberation through their art and activism. The LP’s artistic community inspires us daily in how their explorations, reflections, and interventions provide a blueprint for a better future. We are calling on our community to help drive resources to amplify artists’ voices to facilitate transformative change, which will become more urgent over the next year as our national political landscape grows ever more volatile and potentially further disenfranchises and harms our communities.
We will launch our 2023 People-Powered Challenge—a 10-day (Oct 23 – Nov 1) peer-to-peer campaign with a fundraising goal of $70k to support artists spearheading social change for our collective liberation.
