Last year, legendary singer, songwriter, and activist, Mr. Harry Belafonte, joined the Board of Directors of The Popular Democracy Movement Center, CPD’s groundbreaking retreat and strategy center in Ossining, New York. Mr. Belafonte announced that The Popular Democracy Movement Center will be the home for his Arts & Social Justice Initiative. In joining its Board of Directors, The Popular Democracy Movement Center refocused its mission as a  place where activists, members from our communities, and artists, can gather to plan, reflect, and recharge for our continued fights. Mr. Belafonte stated, “ The Popular Democracy Movement Center will give leaders, from the artist to the activist community, the forum to discuss, debate, and come to concrete actions that will direct national mobilization efforts.” 

In honor of this 93rd birthday, we’re joining Mr. Belafonte on March 1 at the Apollo Theatre in New York City to celebrate his life and legacy, and you’re invited! Proceeds will benefit The Popular Democracy Movement Center and various artists will come together to celebrate and perform including Aloe Blacc, Alice Smith, Talib Kweli, John Forté, Gael Faye, The Resistance Revival Chorus and more!
