Come celebrate Social Justice Fund’s work in strengthening grassroots efforts in the movement for progressive, systemic social change. SJF invites you and your friends who share a vision of a more just society to laugh, learn, and support our work! The evening will feature comedian Hari Kondabolu.
HARI KONDABOLU started his comedy career in Seattle while working as an immigrant rights organizer during the day. The Seattle Times wrote that he is "a young man reaching for the hand-scalding torch of confrontational comics like Lenny Bruce and Richard Pryor." The Stranger has called him "a national comedy treasure." Hari has performed on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Live at Gotham and was featured on John Oliver's New York Stand-Up Show on Comedy Central earlier this year. Additionally, he has a Masters degree in Human Rights from the London School of Economics and his dissertation "Mexican Returnees as Internally Displaced People: An Argument for the Protection of Economic Migrants Under the UN Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement" earned a Merit mark. It is also, by far, the least funniest thing he's ever written. Click here to see another clip!
