PROTESTRA is crowdfunding to support Acacia Center for Justice in conjunction with our Opera for Revolution concert on Sunday, November 1st! For this concert, we wanted to highlight and raise funds for an organization that is working to directly provide legal assistance to our immigrant neighbors who are some of the most affected in our communities by election outcomes. The Acacia Center for Justice builds, strengthens, and expands immigrant legal defense programs for adults and children across the country.
