Join us for 'With Love, We Speak,' an Open Mic gathering where we amplify and share the voices of our community. We’re bringing together local poets, musicians, and performers, to share their unique stories and experiences. In a world where meaningful connection is more vital than ever, we envision this event as a space for our community to express themselves openly and unapologetically. Through shared struggles and experiences, we aim to deepen our connections with one another, nourish our souls, and build a greater sense of community among us all.

CALL FOR PERFORMERS: We have a small number of artists and poets hand-selected for the event, but we are inviting additional performers to sign up and share with us! Artists, speakers, poets, comedians, musicians, etc. are all welcome. Please see below for details on how to join us.

50% of the proceeds will go towards the Canadian Palestinian Foundation of Quebec (CPFQ)'s International Fundraiser: The People Stand with Gaza, who are working with partners on the ground in Gaza to deliver vital resources to displaced families, including food, medical aid, and support programs.
