On Sunday, April 27, a community benefit for Sudan took place at La Sala Rossa in Montreal, organized by the Sudan Solidarity Collective (SSC) in collaboration with CKUT 90.3 FM and the Dean of Arts Development Fund. The event marked two years and two weeks since the war began in Sudan and drew several hundred attendees.
The evening featured performances, music, and community-led programming centered on Sudanese voices and experiences. Funds were raised through ticket donations and the sale of printed materials, books, t-shirts, and traditional cultural sweets. The proceeds are intended to support civilian-led collectives working on the ground in Sudan and to maintain momentum for local and international awareness.
