DONT ASK DONT TELL: FLOWER POWER (BENEFIT FOR CEGV) FT DJ SASKIA



There have been 39 mass shooting in the United States of America since the beginning of 2018. Those mass shootings paired with daily gun violence in this country have resulted in 2,572 lost lives, and its not even April. 

On Saturday March 24th there will be marches taking place in Washington, DC, NYC, Los Angeles, as well as right here in Boston. Not surprisingly it took our youth to motivate us to change- perhaps because they are some of the main targets of these attacks. 

The NRA is a massive warship dedicated to lobbying our politicians to prevent any legislation from being implemented. Such an act would limit the NRA’s power, and probably provoke its downfall. There are several organizations standing up to combat the efforts of the NRA and one of the largest is the Coalition to End Gun Violence. Therefore, as a means of resistance DADT will be hosting a fundraiser for the the CEGV.
We will be donating all of the profits from the event.

~~~~ PEACE THROUGH SUPERIOR FLOWER POWER ~~~~

This event will be an uplifting celebration of life. We will dance to raise not just awareness, but financial assistance, to wage a peaceful war against the NRA. The theme is flower power so feel free to play around! Flowers in your hair? Hippy stylings? However you wish to interpret it!
