On April 20th, the Tufts Task Force had our third annual benefit concert, this year with the theme Love in Action. It was at the end of a long week here in Boston-- the Marathon was the Monday before, and the day before the concert was when the city was on lock-down. By Saturday evening, everyone could use a reminder of hope for healing, and we were honored for our event to be able to provide that for our campus. 

The night was filled with performances from students that spoke to what Love is supposed to look like through song, dance, and poetry. There were also art installations around the room that highlighted what becomes possible when everyone takes action together towards a greater goal. One of the most beautiful sights of the night was the completion of the "Freedom" installation-- we had sheets of cardboard that had small dots marked on it, and each time someone donated, they were given an LED light to stick onto a dot.
