Party to Protect invites you to support all people respected as people by covering and/or contributing to an event to raise funds and awareness for issues facing immigrants in our community. This unofficial SXSW benefit aims to amplify immigrant rights and highlight how we as a community can help protect them.

Happening March 10 at Hard Luck Lounge, all proceeds from the event will go to Grassroots Leadership, a nationally recognized civil and human rights organization, based in Austin, that actively engages, educates, empowers and partners with the community for social justice.

Multiple music acts and organizational leaders will lend their talent and support.

Musical guests include Conjuntos Los Pinkys, Lesly Reynaga, Kiko Villamizer, Son de Rey, Bidi Bidi Banda and Lench Martinez. Organizational leaders present from Grassroots Leadership, Workers Defense Project, Austin Justice Coalition, Youth Rise Texas.

A photo booth, raffle items and $40 tattoos will also be offered, with more activities to be added. All proceeds support the cause.
