Every year on April 25, Italy stops to commemorate its liberation from fascism and to remember the importance of the Resistance. This year, we're bringing that spirit to New York City.


This is a universal story. Wherever people organize against authoritarianism and stand up for each other, that same impulse is alive. New York is a city built by people from everywhere, and it is the perfect place to have this conversation.
