Broadway for Black Lives Matter was a tremendous success. Attended by 1,000 and live streamed across the world to 10,000, boasting some of Broadway and Music's finest talent, along with the country's leading community activists and leaders, NYPD officers, policy reformists, professors, clergymen and students, the evening marked the beginning of a conversation of social injustice and a need for action and change. After the event, the collective took some time to regroup, reflect, and reevaluate our purpose. We wanted to grow and expand our reach. We needed to find a way to use our voices to effect social change, to encourage our community to act, and to continue to make the movement move. 

We were the Broadway for Black Lives Matter Collective. We are the Broadway Advocacy Coalition. Founded in 2016, our mission is:

- to build the capacity of individuals, organizations, and communities to dismantle the systems that perpetuate racism through the power of storytelling and the leadership of people directly affected.

5 years later, we have grown into a multi-disciplinary organization uniting artists with legal experts and community leaders to have a lasting impact on policy issues including criminal justice reform, education equity, and immigration. We have done a tremendous amount of work in a short amount of time and I’m so proud of our entire team. See below for their gorgeous faces and some of our greatest accomplishments to date.
