Justice Within Reach was OFF THE HOOK!

If you were there, you know — and if you weren’t there, you can see what we mean on our Facebook page, where the video has been archived!

 

We came together to celebrate the joy in our movement even as we mourn and rage for the injustice that continues to rain down on our families and people.

We held space for the beauty and love in our communities and the MRG family, and we reiterated that Black Lives Matter. That LGBTQ+ folks matter. Disabled folks matter. Houseless folks matter. Immigrants matter. Native and indigenous folks matter. Mother Earth matters.

Together, #WeAreMRG #SomosMRG. 

Thank you for making MRG Foundation the foundation for, with, and by the people.

Thank you for joining us in living the talk of JUSTICE every day for the last 44 years.

We aren’t stopping. And we know you will be with us every moment along the way. 

 

Deep gratitude to our featured entertainers:

 

Marilyn Keller, local Portland vocal artist extraordinaire and our 2019 Lilla Jewel Awardee.

 

Kay Ulanday Barrett, a poet, performer, and educator navigating life as a disabled

pilipinx amerikan transgender queer in the U.S.

And, our host and emcee for the evening, multihyphenant iconoclast and metaphor peddler,

Carlos Kareem Windham.
