POWER OF SOCIAL JUSTICE POETRY HELPS LOUISIANA RESIDENTS BATTLE BIG OIL
What: As a place of great artistic history, cultural diversity, and environmental importance, the Gulf region has an important place in our world. The urgency of this situation, as millions of gallons of oil flood the waters, suffocate the ocean, and threaten the livelihood of the people, gets greater with each day. Join us as we raise our voices against the greed and corruption that caused this catastrophe.
Split This Rock, Institute for Policy Studies, and Eatonville Restaurant announce Broken Gulf: A Benefit for the Louisiana Bucket Brigade, featuring poetry, food, live music, and a raffle! The benefit will feature the DC Youth Slam Team, DC Poets Sonya Renee, Chris August, and Kyle Dargan, and Mississippi Poet Angela Ball. There will be raffle items from Fiddleheads, ACKC, and a Mississippi eco-friendly clothing artisan.
Tickets are $10 and can be bought at www.splitthisrock.org or at the door. All proceeds will go to support the Louisiana Bucket Brigade (labucketbrigade.org), a 501(c)3, grassroots environmental health and justice organization that has been helping residents living near refineries fight air pollution and is now helping those residents track and respond to the BP Oil Spill Disaster.
Where: Eatonville Restaurant, 2121 14th Street, NW DC
When: Saturday, July 31th, 4:00 - 6:00 pm
