Featured Events
Protect Medicaid Vigil • Washington, DC • July 23 - 26 , 2025
After a successful 24-hour vigil in May 2025, Allora Industries was brought back to support Caring Across Generations and its 100+ partners on a 60-hour Vigil to Protect Medicaid. Allora served a special role during this project by not only taking on full production services, including managing the 60-hour live stream broadcast, but also by working hand in hand to build out programming and manage relationships with partners. This event was 84 hours straight of production from the arrival of the first truck until the last truck left. Our longest one yet.
Bans Off Our Bodies • Washington, DC • May 14, 2022
With little over two weeks' notice, Allora Industries pulled together full production services for Planned Parenthood of America, Women's March, and their numerous partners for the Bans Off Our Bodies Mobilization. A national mobilization with over 500 events around the country, Bans Off Our Bodies was anchored by a rally of more than 50,000 participants in Washington, DC. Allora managed full production services for the Washington, D.C. event, including staging, sound, portable restrooms, press logistics, tenting, flooring, medical, and other infrastructure needed for an event of that size. Additionally, Allora managed the permitting process by working with five police departments and 10+ federal and local government agencies. Also, under Allora's management was the coordination and oversight of a volunteer program for 500 activists who were integrated and trained in various skill sets, but most importantly empowered as future leaders.
Climate Justice Lives Here Festival • Brooklyn, NY • September 28 , 2024
Working with UPROSE, the oldest community group in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, Allora Industries provided full production services for their "Climate Justice Lives Here Festival." Held on the historic Pier 4 at the Brooklyn Army Terminal, and despite intense rain, the afternoon included live musical performances, workshops on climate resiliency, and a fashion show. With over 1,000 attendees, Allora worked with the UPROSE's team to build out the program, coordinate all the infrastructure needed (tenting, power, sound, stage), and oversaw all the other support (permitting, space rental) needed for a day that showed what we can do to fight climate change in our own backyards.
