Dance-In for Peace
In the spirit of John Lennon and Yoko Ono's 1969 Bed-In for Peace, War Child and DC Indymedia are hosting a benefit Dance-In for Peace, with the new wave sounds of Earl Griffis, sophiafromlondon and others. The benefit will also feature the Lucky Lollipop Ladies, fortune telling from the Great Mysterio, matchmaking with the Postman of Love and prizes.
The international charity War Child attempts to redress the devastating impact that war leaves on the most innocent victims, with projects ranging from humanitarian relief in Iraq to music schemes in East Timor.
Dance-In for Peace is on Friday, April 18, from 9 p.m. to 2:30 a.m. at TomTom, 2335 18th St. NW. A minimum $5 donation is suggested. Call 202/518-6667 or send an e-mail for more information.
DC Metro Action is published by Michael Schlesinger, a 32-year veteran of electoral and issue organizing who is committed to social justice and to increasing participation in the political process.
