Purpose
In celebration of Martin Luther King Day, and in solidarity with people's movements the world over, local Occupiers and their supporters are invited to this donation-only event.
We celebrate the Martin Luther King legacy, as well as all of the individuals who have followed in his footsteps in demanding justice.
Other details
Organized by TUPAC, this event is:
- ALL AGES
- Donation Only
- And no one will be turned away due to lack of funds
All proceeds made from this event will go to legal fees for those who have stood up in pursuit of freedom and those who have been shot down by injustice. The money will go to Occupy Portland, Justin James Bridges, who was hospitalized shortly after his encounter with the Oregon Police Department and Aaron Campbell’s family for their pursuit of justice in the fatal shooting of their son by the Portland Police Department.
- Entertainers
- Portland hip-hop titan Mic Crenshaw
- Bohemian stage family in The Wanderlust Circus
- Veteran bicycle dance team, The Sprockettes
- Justin James Bridges
- David Rovics
- and others will gather to honor the troops on the front lines of this peaceful revolution, a USO for the 99%.
We would love to see everyone there. We welcome one and all to participate in a celebratory day of performance, dance, and music.
