A Note From Patricia
Dear Friends,
I am deeply moved by this community. You keep amazing me with your creativity and compassion.
On March 18th, at 10,000 Tones for Peace: A Benefit for Humanitarian Aid to Ukraine, 90 artists came and performed. The music, poetry and dance was at the highest level. There were 200 people there to support, to be inspired, and together we lifted each other up. Together, we raised $7500 in support of Doctors Without Borders efforts in Ukraine.
We work for Unbounded Creativity, for Peace, for Justice, for Equity with Compassion.
That is a good Life.
Thank You,
Patricia Nicholson

This is happening in the UKRAINE NOW, so we support Humanitarian Aid to Ukraine. It is also happening in Yemen and it happens here in the USA with the murder and discrimination against Black, Latinx, Asian, and other human beings who don't fit into the idea of a white, fear-driven, right-wing society."
