WHAT does this event include?

A mesmerizing 360 degree view of our sparkling city, live music, wine, beer and delicious food inspired by all the people who make America beautiful!

WHAT will this event help support?

PATRIACT’s inaugural event will support The Center for Gender and Refugee Studies (CGRS - https://cgrs.uchastings.edu/) and their crucial work of protecting the fundamental human rights of women, children, LGBT individuals, and other refugees who flee persecution. By providing technical assistance in asylum & immigration cases and policy advocacy, CGRS has touched the lives of tens of thousands of immigrants.

WHERE does ‘Salt, Sugar & Love From Nowhere’ come from?

Salt, Sugar & Love From Nowhere draws inspiration from history. In the 1950’s, Georgia Gilmore and the Club from Nowhere used the power of cakes, cookies and home cooking to fund the civil rights movement. Pooling $14, the activists created renegade bake shops on street corners to support the Montgomery Bus Boycott. Thank you, Georgia Gilmore, for inspiring us to follow in your footsteps!
