testimonials

"What a beautiful, emotional and incredible evening!!! Thank you SO much for letting us hold such an important event in your wonderful space. We have had nothing but amazing feedback and people asking for another one!"
- GIF

"I do want to commend the RIO for creating opportunities for the stories of silenced dissident voices to be heard. I am acutely aware that this is not the case in other parts of the world and I have no great confidence that it will necessarily continue to be the case here."
- The Committee to Defend Julian Assange
