#OpenYourLobby
Help us support our community
Black Lives Matter. We at Irondale are heartbroken by the senseless murder of George Floyd, Tony McDade, Breonna Taylor, and so many other black men and women at the hands of law enforcement in America. The tragedy is that there are countless human beings who have lost their lives before them, and there have been several since. The number of lives lost is overwhelming and this must change. Through our work with To Protect, Serve, and Understand, Irondale has committed itself and its resources to working within the community to increase empathy and understanding between police officers and the community members they are sworn to protect and serve. We continue to commit ourselves to look at ways we can use our resources to do a better job in lifting up unheard voices, artists who are marginalized and diverse points of view.
Irondale is joining the New York theatre community in the #OpenYourLobby campaign and opening our doors for the first time since the beginning of the pandemic to those making their voices heard. We will be open during the protests to hand out water and snacks as well as provide a safe space for people to use the bathroom, charge their phones, and meet up with anyone they may have lost during the protest.
If you’d like to help us support our community at this time, we’re accepting donations so we can keep opening our doors to the Brooklyn community as well as keeping our space properly cleaned and sanitized for the safety of our staff and friends. If you’d like to stop by at the theatre, these are the items that we need:
– water
– snacks
– hand soap
– hand sanitizer
– masks
– first aid supplies
To our friends, students, families and patrons, we are here to be your resource during this moment and long afterwards. Irondale supports you.
