Who we are
Past events
SUMOOD Anaheim
In October 2024, just two weeks after the zi0 assault on Lebanon began, a team of vendors joined forces with artists and activists to raise funds for emergency relief in Lebanon and reaffirm our commitment to resistance. Attendees described the experience as “a big hug” and “an act of resistance.”
All proceeds benefitted We Deserve Better Foundation emergency response in Lebanon.
