Mural
for October 22nd - Fight Police Brutality
on the Corner of Slauson & Vermont in Los Angeles
we
received this email from October 22 Committee in LA:
Someone
has done an amazing mural for October 22nd at the corner of
Slauson and Vermont in South Central. It is absolutely HUGE,
beautiful; it takes up the whole side of a building. It says:
October 22nd, Fight Police Brutality. The Youth Student Network
has given its first ever Mad Props award to the artists! If
you can, go check it out! I guarantee it's worth the trip. You
gotta see it in person. It's literally about 100 feet long,
and a whole building high. On to October 22nd!
To
find the mural: Corner of Slauson & Vermont. Right to the
east of the Pollo Loco. (you can't miss it!)

Anti-War
Hip Hop Concert is Censored in
San Francisco
From
Davey D:
"While the Bay is dealing with club woes there's some more sinister
stuff going on. We call it the silencing. The Coup and dead
prez along with several other local Hip Hop groups have been
planning to do an anti-war concert in San Francisco [Sat Oct
26]. The event is due to take place at historic Delores Park
which has along history of being a gathering spot for rallies.
Michael Franti recently gave a free concert there. Now Boots
and dead prez have been having major problems getting their
permits secured. The last word was they were given permission
to perform but without amplified sound. They were told that
they could perform with bullhorns. Talk about craziness.
"Across
the Bay in Oakland, the October 22 Committee which has been
organizing against police brutality were initially denied their
permit for the big event and rally they planned to have in front
of Oakland's City Hall this Monday. Folks were gearing up to
kick up dust regarding that, fortunately OPD gave in at the
last minute and granted them their permits. However, we will
have to keep you posted about the case surrounding The Coup
and dead prez."
