Join the 'Yeah, No' Benefit Concert on March 25
The 'Yeah, No' benefit concert is set to take place on Wednesday, March 25th, in Minneapolis, aiming to rally support for the St. Anthony Village community in the wake of recent federal immigration operations. This event is a powerful response from local residents who are committed to standing together and supporting one another during tough times.
A Community United
As tensions rose due to the recent immigration actions, local organizations have stepped up to provide relief and support for those affected. The 'Yeah, No' concert not only serves as a musical gathering but also as a rallying cry for community resilience. With funds raised going directly to SAV Mutual Aid, attendees can help ensure neighbors receive essential resources such as food, rent assistance, and more.
Who's Performing?
Featuring talented local artists like Al Church, known for his dynamic cover performances, and Perfect World, a band composed of enthusiastic teens from St. Anthony Village playing nostalgic 90s alt-rock hits, the concert promises a night of uplifting music and solidarity. There will also be a significant community aspect with sing-along sessions featuring resistance songs to further unite attendees.
Event Details
Tickets are priced at $30 in advance and $40 at the door. Doors will open at 6:00 PM with the first performance kicking off at 6:30 PM. More information and ticket purchases are available through the event's official page.
“We are thrilled to unite the community for a night filled with music and a strong message of resilience,” said Sarah Crowson, the spokesperson for the concert. “Together, we can show our collective disapproval of acts that disrupt our community, while also providing concrete support for our neighbors impacted by these actions.”
Supporting Local Needs
The funds raised will directly aid the SAV Mutual Aid's mission, which focuses on addressing pressing community needs including:
- - Rent and housing stability
- - Transportation for medical and essential appointments
- - Provision of baby supplies and household necessities
- - Meeting urgent requests from local schools and community partners
Local restaurants, including Chimborazo, Unique Dining Catering, and Waddup Dough, will cater food, beverages, and desserts, ensuring a delightful experience for all attendees. Plus, a local screen printer will be present for attendees to print shirts for a donation to the cause, and there will be a silent auction featuring various exciting items.
Unable to Attend?
