NYC Nightlife United launches Kickstarter campaign to provide aid to NYC cultural spaces

”Our goal is to administer emergency grants to shuttered venue spaces and staff members, prioritizing those by and for POC and LGBTQIA communities,” NYC Nightlife United writes. ”NYC’s cultural landscape would not be as rich and robust as it is today without the trailblazing contributions from these communities.”
