With Special Guest: Natalie Grant

Abolition International is partnering with Covenant House for a Candlelight Vigil for Homeless Youth. Covenant House is an organization that provides food, shelter, and 24/7 crisis care and services to homeless kids. The vigil in Times Square will feature Natalie Grant, who will be performing, followed by a powerful candlelight ceremony. Together, Covenant House and Abolition International will raise awareness about youth homelessness and the trafficking of homeless youth today.

The vigil will also feature homeless youth from Covenant House, who will share stories of their journey through homelessness to independence. Following the vigil, Covenant House will host the CEO Solidarity Sleepout on the concrete near the shelter at 460 West 41st Street, with numerous CEOs and business leaders hoping to improve this corner of the world.
