Remembering Our Power

Our power comes from each other. We bear witness to each other's refusal to be silent, to be still, to be erased. We work together to speak truth, to uplift the most vulnerable. We use stories to make the change we want to see. That is collective power. That is ensemble. That is our future.

NET’s stance is clear: We stand with immigrant communities, undocumented artists, and all people targeted by state violence. We reject the criminalization of protest, the militarization of our neighborhoods, and any attempt to silence cultural workers who bear witness to injustice.
