“Broadway Fights Back is about getting the theatre community and its wide-reaching influences actively involved in the conversation surrounding gun violence prevention and youth empowerment,” said March For Our Lives organizer Alex Wind, a Stoneman Douglas High School shooting survivor. “We want to make sure everyone who can be is registered to vote and prepared to head to the polls in November. This concert helps raise more awareness for the work of March For Our Lives and the ongoing efforts to end gun violence.”
