In 2016 a group of Broadway actors and activists joined together to answer a question: “How can the arts play a more meaningful role in creating a just world?” Frustrated by both the county's and theater industry's response - or lack thereof - to the nation's pandemic of racism, those "artivists" sensed a different strategy was needed to tackle today's most pressing issues. That impulse grew into the Broadway Advocacy Coalition: a boundary-pushing advocacy nonprofit utilizing workshops, coalition building, leadership development, and Impact Projects to create more humane policies.
Led by a team of visionary artivists, educators, and advocates, BAC is creating a new way to collaborate towards a just world.
