Artists Against Brutality Project is a new organization recently born in response to the current events unfolding in the United States. Co-Founder Collin L. Howard said, "As a collective made of theatre artists standing in solidarity against systemic abuse of power, it is my hope that we send a message of defiance, camaraderie and inspiration to a fractured and grieving nation."

In response to the violence against black men, women, and children, co-founders Howard and actor Seth Diggs assembled a team of Broadway actors to perform the anthem "Till We Reach That Day" from the musical Ragtime (music by Stephen Flaherty, lyrics by Lynn Ahrens). A video of "Make Them Hear You" is being released on Friday, June 19th, 2020 to commemorate Juneteenth. Musical direction and orchestrations are by Michael Morris (Make Me A Song), technical direction is by two-time New England Emmy® Award winner Erik Bloomquist, and the sound engineer/mixer is David Hoffman.
