We are living through a genocide.

On the front lines, the ANERA Lebanon and Heal Palestine are keeping humanitarian corridors open where governments have failed.

History tells us what communities do in moments like this. There was Woodstock. There was Live Aid. And now we're taking over Coachella weekend to bring you NOCHELLA.

NOCHELLA is our answer to this moment: a day of unity brought to you by Midnight Books, For Your Viewing Pleasure, Modern Eid, and Peoples Marketplace.

100% of proceeds go directly to ANERA Lebanon and Heal Palestine.
