How To Get Involved
Care about the issues? Want to help make change? Join us! We developed these plays inclusively, with voices from different communities hailing from all over our country. We engaged artists and thought leaders in diverse areas to inform the process and work. The plays are available immediately on this site. You can activate the text or engage with streaming videos of past productions. We are working with a radically generous model and all productions are PAY WHAT YOU CAN or FREE. Contributions to CALLING UP JUSTICE subsidize and support this work for the populations that need it most. Scroll down to read more about the collections!
CALLING UP produces performances of social justice online and in real life. We facilitate the creation and decimation of scripts, connect thought leaders, consult, and produce trainings.
