‘Revolutionary Love: A Concert To Benefit Thistle Farms’ Set For March
Thistle Farms, the international nonprofit justice enterprise serving women survivors of trafficking, prostitution and addiction, is hosting “Revolutionary Love,” a benefit concert at the Ryman Auditorium on March 19 in honor of International Women’s Day. The show will feature the Fisk Jubilee Singers, along with special guests.
“Our story of revolutionary love began almost 30 years ago with a single house to provide sanctuary and safety for women survivors—and challenged ourselves to do it lavishly,” says Becca Stevens, Founder and President of Thistle Farms. “Today, we are an international movement for women’s freedom rooted in the belief that love is the most powerful force for change in the world. That is what revolutionary love is all about, and this gathering will be a celebration of that idea.”
Tickets for the night of song and stories at the Ryman will go on sale Feb. 2, with VIP pre-sale opening on Jan. 31, and can be purchased through the Ryman Auditorium’s website at ryman.com or by visiting thistlefarms.org. All proceeds from the special show will benefit Thistle Farms.
“We invite the community to join us on March 19 at the Ryman Auditorium and share in song and story,” says Tasha Kennard, CEO of Thistle Farms. “Guests will experience uplifting performances by the Fisk Jubilee Singers and special guests, hear stories from graduates of Thistle Farms’ residential program, and explore what it means to practice revolutionary love in support of survivors of trafficking and exploitation.”
Thistle Farms in Nashville has been on a mission since 1997 to change the way people see, understand and support systems that exploit women—including addiction, incarceration, poverty and trafficking. Thistle Farms does this by ensuring access to safe and supportive housing, meaningful employment and a lifelong community of support.
