This strategic and soulful gathering celebrates the exclusive one-night-only Baltimore stop of the national Journey to Justice Tour and its powerful mobile museum.
About This Event
Tyranny doesn't always announce itself with marching armies; sometimes, it takes root in the quiet, crushing confines of a concrete box. Here in Maryland, the torturous practice of solitary confinement persists. As it expands, our movement must meet it with equal resolve.
Join the Unlock the Box Campaign, the Chris Wilson Foundation, Look2Justice, and Torture FreeMD for "Cocktails for Change" — a rallying point for all who refuse to accept injustice.
Connect with experts and organizers, plus experience the Journey to Justice Bus: a 40ft school bus transformed into a mobile museum by directly impacted people and award-winning producers. Step aboard for immersive audio, VR experiences, and a life-size solitary cell that makes the human cost of this practice impossible to ignore.
The evening includes a special video message from Dr. Angela Y. Davis, a policy-focused fireside chat with leading experts, and a movement mixer with art and immersive exhibits. Come raise a glass, connect with fellow change-makers, and join a movement at the very core of the fight for justice.
