In The Press!
“It began as a passion project, a reaction to the 2016 election results. Stacy Busch put together a benefit concert with proceeds going to help organizations working with the LGBTQ community, immigrants, and refugees.
Now, that effort has blossomed into No Divide KC—a nonprofit that’s supporting local artists of all kinds. Two of its big programs are the Come As You Are fellowship and the Queer Narratives Festival.”
