From Ayano and Jesi: 
We're hosting a performance marathon titled 888 to benefit Red Canary Song, an organizing collective for Asian & migrant sex workers. Our goal is to raise and contribute $888 to RCS in memory of the victims of the spa shootings in the Atlanta area in March 2021. The number 8 symbolizes wholeness in Taoist tradition; 888 is an invitation to connect, share, and be together as part of a larger community. With this stellar artist lineup and in partnership with CPR, we’re creating an intentional space for celebration, prayer, and remembrance. We hope to see you there! <3

For those unable to attend but still wishing to support the cause, please send donations to https://venmo.com/u/Ayano-Elson.
