At Dream.org we close prison doors & open doors of opportunity. Bringing people together across racial, social, & politics to create a better future.
The event “will bring together Philadelphians, leaders in the criminal justice reform movement, artists and performers for a conversation on criminal justice reform and the importance of recognizing commonalities among people in order to increase dialogue and affect change,” according to a press release, which adds that “100 percent of net ticket proceeds will go to Jones’ Dream Corps nonprofit, its initiatives, and local partner charities.”
Doors open at 7 p.m. and the event begins at 8 p.m. Thursday at the Fillmore. Follow the link above for tickets and more information.
