Concert to Benefit Asylum Seekers

WEST BRATTLEBORO, Vt. – The duo Emma’s Revolution will present a concert to benefit the Community Asylum Seekers Project Friday, Oct. 25 at All Souls Unitarian Universalist Church at 7:30 p.m.

Emma’s Revolution is the dynamic, award-winning activist duo of Pat Humphries and Sandy O, whose songs have been sung for the Dalai Lama, covered for Holly Near and praised by Pete Seeger.

With beautiful harmonies and genre-defying eclecticism, the performance will include tributes to Seeger, a friend and mentor to the duo.

CASP is currently hosting 14 asylum seekers from Mexico, Cuba and Honduras who are awaiting their court dates. They are housed with Windham County families and supported by CASP, which provides basic needs and a supportive community.

Tickets are $20 in advance and $25 at the door, with no one turned away for lack of funds. Tickets can be purchased at Everyone’s Books in Brattleboro, Village Square Booksellers in Bellows Falls and online at https.://tinyurl.com/CASP-benefit.
