Hands Off the Arts is organizing a rally against the President’s drive to deface JFK’s memorial, his removal and censorship of art, and his threat to demolish the Center if he can’t remake the site in his image.

On Friday, September 18 at 6:30 PM, we will be creating a human chain around the Center during our event - Hands Around the Kennedy Center. The message is crystal clear - the Kennedy Center belongs to the American people, not one man, and if you want to tear it down you have to go through us first.
