Freedom Harvest: Healing Portals Concert

DPN’s Healing Justice legacy is one that has created healing portals outside of L.A. County jails for the past 7 years! Connecting with families visiting their loved ones is at the heart of our work. We know that without healing, there is no justice.

This concert will raise awareness of Dignity and Power Now’s efforts to defund prisons and imagine alternatives to incarceration. The muti-media experience will feature a variety of music including Hip-Hop, Cumbia, Jazz and R&B and feature poetry and the works of visual artists.
