A Political Hip-Hop Experiment
Vocal Resistance aims to build unity between the progressive hip-hop community and political activist groups. The group is holding a fundraiser for the Socialism 2004 Conference on Friday, May 28, at the Harambe Cafe (1771 U St. NW). Performing live will be The LAB crew, Son of Nun, D-mite and MC Slim Goins.
It is expected that this will become a weekly Friday night event. In the future, proceeds will be divided among the performing artists and various political activist groups. Admission for this week's event is $5 before 10 p.m. and $7 after.
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.
