On Sept. 26 at 4 p.m., tune in to Solidarity for Sanctuary, and learn how to harness your voice in the fight for justice. This Ford Digital Festival convenes artists and public figures in music and activism to elevate the conversation around voting, immigration, and Black and Brown solidarity.

Co-curated by grassroots organizers Solidarity for Sanctuary, the event brings together prominent Latinx artists, including a world-premiere collaboration between Omar Apollo and members of the L.A. Phil, along with Las Cafeteras, Lido Pimienta, San Cha, La Doña and poet Yosimar Reyes, among others, to celebrate Selena, the Queen of Tejano music, and draw attention to the importance of voting, immigrant rights and Black and Brown solidarity.

Apollo will be performing his forthcoming single featuring renowned regional Mexican collective Yellow Room Music and members of the Los Angeles Philharmonic. This unique collaboration was orchestrated by Grammy-nominated Nathalie Joachim and is conducted by Anthony Parnther.
