5. Events and Fundraising
Melanie envisioned, executed, marketed, directed, and produced a major NYC event bringing together Jewish, Muslim, Israeli, Arab, and Palestinian communities through music, speakers, and shared ritual. Over 400 attendees participated in a rare post‑October 7 convening. The full campaign raised $30,000+ for peace and justice initiatives. We created a media pool for the event to amplify the message far and wide.
