We'd like to invite you to a special downtown open mic night next week, in honor of civil rights and celebrating peaceful civil disobedience. And you can be a part of it -- read on!
Participate in this event!

This special Civil Rights-themed event calls for an exploration and celebration of nonviolent disobedience, and the movements this activism nurtures. What is nonviolent activism? How is it practiced locally today and in the past?
We are seeking individuals and groups that find inspiration in the works of Martin Luther King, Jr., the Civil Rights movement, Gandhi, and similar activism.
Your participation may include a speech, song, dance, poetry, performance act, or any combination of the above. Please contact Michelle I. Ponce at 602-281-0697 or tacubando@yahoo.com to register.
