Pierre is a carpenter and a member of an inclusive, activist marching band based in Paris. The band brings together more than 80 people of all ages and genders, using music to support migrant camps - making people dance, sing, and feel connected along the way. Entirely self-organised and operating without any subsidies, the band is deeply rooted in openness and collective action. With $500, Pierre wants to help kick-start a shared project to buy second-hand instruments that can be made freely available to local kids to give them the chance to test, learn, and dare to start playing music with the band. The funds would cover at least one saxophone and one trumpet, opening the door for the next generation to join in the joy, resistance, and community that music makes possible.
