Karen Williams performs to benefit Astraea

Join Astraea Lesbian Foundation for Justice for a one-night-only performance with extraordinary comedian Karen Williams in honor of Astraea's Lynn Campbell Memorial Fund.  

Whether as an organizer of the first Take Back the Night, or through her work with the Funding Exchange, or as co-founder of Funders for Lesbian & Gay Issues -- Lynn's legacy serves a reminder to us that justice is sweet, and worth the fight. Karen, known for her quick repartee, insightful commentary and audience rapport starred in LAUGHING MATTERS, the award-winning documentary film and also has her own Logo Network comedy showcase, “I NEED A SNACK.” She is currently on her national comedy tour, “HEALING WITH HUMOR – FREEDOM FROM FEAR,” which she dedicates to victory over sexual violence. Let's share and locate those essential moments of joy, humor and activism together.
