This year has been defined by courageous acts of resistance from women across this country: from marches, to calls and visits to congress, to exposing sexual assault, and well beyond. To celebrate the badass women making their voices heard and to gear up for the fight ahead, Art, Humanity & Action: We Persist brings together NYC’s favorite female storytellers for a night of uplifting, inspiring, funny personal stories and songs about persistence. Plus, speakers and stories from local, women-led organizations about ways to get involved and elect more women to office in 2018.   100% ticket proceeds will benefit Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America   Featuring stories from: Michele Carlo, Jasmine Mari Fernandez, Cyndi Freeman, Leslie Goshko, Susan Kent, Sandi Marx, Vanessa Valerio, Sydnee Washington & Angel Yau.   Speakers: -Carlina Rivera, Council Member-Elect for City Council District 2; Co-Founder, Women of Color for Progress -Brette McSweeney, President, Eleanor's Legacy -Laura House, Brooklyn Community Outreach Lead, Moms Demand Action   Music by: Jen Kwok   Partnering Organizations: Eleanor’s Legacy & Women of Color for Progress   Hosted by: Nicole Ferraro   About ART, HUMANITY & ACTION: Born in response to the 2016 election, Art, Humanity & Action is a series that unites storytelling, social justice, and fundraising.
