Bring a hoodie to donate or look for a drop box around town. Donations will be used to create one unified flag, a symbol of a community united for peace and equality, which will be raised to fly in Center City and shared via video with millions of people worldwide. Remaining wearable items will be donated to partner charities. Share your personal story at video and audio stations at the event.
Philly reACTS: The Heart Beneath the Hood is held in partnership with the Office of Mayor Michael A. Nutter, Red Tettemer O'Connell + Partners, and is made possible with funding from the Heritage Program of Philadelphia, part of the Pew Center for Arts and Heritage, and the City of Philadelphia Redevelopment Authority.
