We urge others in our community to support and engage with the critical work the Broadway Advocacy Coalition is doing to dismantle systemic racism.
, said, “In 2016, when we produced our first Broadway for Black Lives Matter, Broadway Cares came forward with swift and clear support to make that event possible and we are humbled and grateful for the continued support now. Black Lives Matter is a statement of humanization. In this moment of pause, may we focus our energy on committing to doing the work to own the title we so often call ourselves, ‘community.
The Broadway Advocacy Coalition works with advocates, students, artists, organizations and communities to use the arts for social change, including ending mass incarceration. Actor Britton Smith, Broadway Advocacy Coalition president, said, “Our nation’s history of racism has trickled into our industry in ways that prevent actors of color the liberties that white actors are accustomed to. With the ongoing support from Broadway Cares, we will be able to work to ensure that people of color join the tables where decisions are made, reflecting that black lives really do matter within our industry.
The organizations will be added to Broadway Cares’ National Grants Programs, ensuring annual grants continue in 2021.
