HELP EARTHQUAKE SURVIVORS WITH THE POWER OF YOUR MUSIC
The earthquakes in Turkey have devastated communities and we need your help.
How big is the disaster? Imagine NYC, Philadelphia, Washington DC, Baltimore, Delaware State AND all of New Jersey State collapsing at once! It’s referred to as 'The Biggest Disaster In The Last Century'. The devastating aftermath is heart wrenching. 14 Million people were affected, more than 45,000 people died (increasing) and over 100,000 are injured. 900,000 now live in tents.
WHAT YOU CAN DO
Music is a universal language and has healing power. Create and share a simple Reel of your music (voice or instrumental) to join the movement. All funds will be put towards long-term recovery efforts focused on education, psycho-social support and music therapy.
HOW TO PARTICIPATE
Record a video of yourself playing an instrument or singing as an Instagram Reel. Either in the video or in the caption, share your thoughts and support for the earthquake victims.
