Emergency Art Action to Fund Black Futures!

BY MELISSA BEATRIZ ON JUNE 20, 2020

On June 16, the Artist Coalition for a Just Philadelphia hosted the Emergency Art Action to Fund Black Futures! on the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The action’s goal was to “use the power of artistic expression in the form of music, dance and visual art to demand a city budget that funds black futures by Defunding the Police and Saving the Philadelphia Cultural Fund.”

The action was held just before City Council was to vote on the proposed 2021 budget. Learn more about how the arts in Philadelphia are not ‘restored.’ The Artist Coalition for a Just Philadelphia is continuing to call for the city to #FundBlackFutures and #DefundThePPD.
