We are so excited for our 45th Anniversary Event Saturday, May 19th. Online ticket sales have ended. But don't worry -- if you haven't bought a ticket and want to attend, just come! We'll be selling tickets at the door for a suggested $45 or $120 donation. We'll see you there!

Event Information: 

WHEN: 6pm to 10pm, Saturday, May 19th

WHERE: 7 VFW Parkway, W. Roxbury, at the Melkite Catholic Cathedral

TRAVEL THROUGH THE DECADES of a multimedia art installation illuminating City Life/Vida Urbana's 45 years of struggle and victories, winning social justice and stopping evictions. The gathering will also include food, a light program, and hundreds of incredible fighters like you.

Founded in 1973 by local residents with roots in the civil rights, feminist, and anti-Vietnam War movements, City Life/Vida Urbana has focused on stabilizing Boston's neighborhoods of color by stopping evictions and displacement.

This is YOUR movement celebration. CELEBRATE your struggles and victories at UPRISE with us!
