Maafa 2009: Hurricane Katrina

Sunday, August 30, 2009, 5-9 PM, at Shashamane Restaurant at 2507 Broadway in Oakland (corner of 25th Street Auto-Row), there will be a report back and fundraiser for Hurricane Katrina Survivors.

The organizations we have been supporting for the past four years are LIFE of Mississippi (Biloxi site) and Common Ground Health Clinic. We will have poets sharing work, the anthology, Words Upon the Waters, Poets and Artists Respond to Hurricane Katrina will be on sale.

We'll have birthday cake for Chairman Fred Hampton, a young revolutionary killed by the FBI/Chicago police in 1969. Other Leos will also be celebrated.

There will be an art auction, so bring art artists and money public. We accept checks. Donations are requested, minimally $10, but no one will be turned away for lack of funds. For information email: racewoman@gmail.com

If you can't make it send checks made out to either charity to P.O. Box 30756, Oakland, CA 94604.
