Hugely Successful Katie Hill Fundraiser at Ghebaly Gallery!

From a thank you email by event organizer artist Patrick Jackson.

“Hi All,

Thank you to all of you who organized, worked, donated artwork and supported TAKE BACK THE HOUSE.  We're happy to report that so far we’ve sold over $100,000 in artwork.  Most of that is already in Swing Left’s bank account and Katie Hill will soon be getting her share.

The Katie Hill for Congress campaign told us that we set a record for the most money raised at any one Katie Hill event and we also set a record for the most people to sign up to canvass for Katie at any one event.”

There is some work still available for sale until Oct. 5th. You can see the work at www.takebackthehouse2018.com
