Friends,
Last month, we told you about a fundraiser co-hosted by Shauen Pearce, FOR Program Director for Social, Economic and Racial Justice, benefiting the U.S. Joint Struggle Delegation to the World Social Forum Free Palestine in Brazil.
 This month, a second fundraiser is taking place to support the delegation:
Liberation: A Masquerade Affair
Dance and fashion masquerade; tickets available online for $20
Vine Arts Center
2637 27th Ave S, Minneapolis
Delight in an evening of mystery, ear candy from some of the finest DJs in the city and a fashion show experience like no other. 21+, mask required -- dress to impress and dance.
View images of a few of the masks that are for sale ($5-15) as part of the fundraiser.
If you can’t make the event but want to contribute, you can donate online.
As we mentioned last month, we think the World Social Forum delegation will be so important because it is explicitly calling for a broad-based cross-movement delegation:
"This effort seeks to build joint struggle for the liberation of people and land. Specifically, the delegation hopes to strengthen resistance to mass incarceration, surveillance and targeting of communities, repression of popular movements and activists, militarized borders, land and resource appropriation and privatization, and promote indigenous self-determination, the rights of refugees, the sustainability of the land and natural resources and the creation of a people's economy."
Get your tickets for this Saturday, and we'll see you there! |
