Ragga NYC, as we have done over the last decade, draws the lines that connect us in compassion, tenderness, history, and rhythm. The electric stories of our foremothers show us the power of shared dance as they move through troubled times with self-grace and spice. In collaboration with Pocketbook Hudson, we have a special lineup showcasing poetry, storytelling, sound art, music, and, of course, a Ragga NYC bashment. We will be uplifting these two organizations doing amazing work for queer Caribbean folk during the event and a portion of the door will go to them: Red Afro Cubana Trans (supports resources to the trans community in Cuba) and Refuge America (helps LGBTQI+ asylum seekers and refugees reconstruct their lives here in the USA).
Lineup info:

There is a lot going on right now and Ragga Nyc isn’t happening in a vacuum so we want to lean in with love and tenderness while we create spaces of joy. During Ragga Nyc we will uplifted these two organizations doing amazing work for queer Caribbean folk and more here in the states and on the islands. A portion of the door went to them and we hope that you will all join us in donating/ lifting them up. All we have is each other. 🫂
