San Diego’s own The Neighborhood Kids are hitting the stage for one night only before setting off on their East Coast tour with Rage Against the Machine legend Tom Morello. Known for their high-energy performances and conscious lyricism, TNK will perform live with a full band at BLK BOX Gallery, joined by Indigenous Cats for an evening that blends music, culture, and community. DJ JG Will also have an opening set starting at 5:30 PM mixing high energy conscious music with scratching techniques.
This show is more than a concert—it’s a cause. 10% of proceeds will be donated to Border Kindness, supporting migrants and families at the border.
Guests are also encouraged to bring toy donations for Border Kindness’ annual holiday drive.
Come experience the movement, the message, and the music. Help fund our tour and give back to Border Kindness.

ABOUT BORDER KINDNESS:
Border Kindness Children’s Empowerment Center:
Border Kindness believes access to a quality education is a fundamental right of every human. The Border Kindness Children’s Empowerment Center provides classes and opportunities for children to learn to code, embrace STEM, and gain 21st-century skills, as well as learn about nutrition, empathy, communication, English, and more.
The Center is managed and staffed exclusively by women from Mexicali and often hosts guest speakers/instructors for programs for teens and tweens, including special events to inspire and create opportunities for girls and young women. The center is a safe place for the children in our border community to express themselves and flourish.
The Center currently provides food, clothing, medical care, tutoring, access to technology, STEM classes, and art activities to asylum-seeking and local children in Mexicali.
Border Kindness Migrant Assistance Programs:
Border Kindness provides asylum-seekers, migrants, refugees, and other highly vulnerable populations with food, shelter, clothing, medical & dental care, transportation, access to communication and technology, and legal services. Our most visible work includes reuniting families separated during the Trump administration, providing medical care and food to migrants (and others) throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, and assisting and supporting families returned to Mexico after seeking asylum in the USA.
Border Kindness often provides asylum-seekers with employment within our response programs while they are in Mexico. Our innovative and impactful work assisting migrants has been widely acknowledged on social media by community leaders, influencers, and activists, including Amnesty International, Eva Longoria, Prince Harry & Meghan Markle, Jennifer Lopez, the National Basketball Players Association, and others. Border Kindness is an outspoken advocate for justice and the organization regularly attracts media coverage, including NPR, PBS, CBS, CNN, the Los Angeles Times, the Wall Street Journal, The Guardian, NBC News, and more.
