Hunger Exists Here
Artist Xavier Cortada and the Congressional Hunger Center will unveil "Hunger Exists Here," a participatory anti-hunger mural. The collaborative, interactive painting process will be an ongoing event from Friday, July 29, at Union Station to Saturday, July 30 at Market 5 Gallery at Eastern Market. The mural will be a "collaborative message mural" – which means that words, ideas, stories from community activists, people affected by hunger, policymakers and the public at large will be solicited. Cortada will fuse individuals' thoughts, drawings and words into a mural. Come out to share your experience with hunger. Check it out on Friday, July 29, from 10:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. in front of Union Station (50 Massachusetts Ave. NE). For more information, contact Kristin Anderson at 202/547-7022.
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.
