2024 Love Over Fear Benefit Concert
Love Over Fear Benefit Concert
This year’s Love Over Fear benefit concert will take place on November 12 at Freight & Salvage in Berkeley at 6:30pm. It will be an evening of music and storytelling celebrating global rhythms and deep connections to land and heritage. There will be a lineup of incredible musicians, as well as artists, faith leaders, immigrant and formerly incarcerated neighbors, as we explore themes of journey, freedom, captivity, and indigeneity. This concert is a fundraiser for Interfaith Movement for Human Integrity (IM4HI). Your support will advance IM4HI’s work to demand the full humanity of every individual through immigration and decarceration advocacy, accompaniment, and the leadership development of directly impacted leaders and faith allies.
Doors open at 6:00pm / Show starts at 6:30
Tickets are general admission, sliding scale $20-50. If you are unable to attend, please purchase a "Pay-It-Forward" ticket to be used by one of our immigrant/formerly-incarcerated leaders.
The Interfaith Movement for Human Integrity (IM4HI) is a multiracial and multifaith organization bringing spiritual leadership to social movements to demand the full humanity of every individual and ensure the well-being of our communities. With organizational roots in the 1990s, we advance racial equity in two program areas: immigrant justice and incarceration. In the last two years, we engaged more than 2,000 people of faith, 360 congregations and partner organizations, supported 234 directly-impacted individuals, and reached more than 35,000 people with a message of hope, love and resilience.
We aspire to transform public understanding of immigration and public safety – from a framework of punishment and exclusion towards a liberating vision based on dignity and care. We do this in three ways: transforming narrative, transforming leadership, and transforming policy and practice.
We can only be as safe as the most vulnerable in our communities. Our Love Over Fear campaign helps create safe and thriving communities by replacing the narrative of fear, xenophobia, and racism with inclusion, forgiveness, and shared humanity.
