Copwatch, Nuestros Derechos Benefit Friday!

(I can't believe I posted this on the 15th...I guess I've been stressed lately. Looks like it was probably a blast.)

------------

WHEN: Friday, June 11th
7PM

WHERE: The Firehouse
(1015 N. 1st St. - just north of Roosevelt in downtown Phx)

Phoenix Copwatch is a grassroots volunteer organization that works to end police brutality in the Phoenix, Arizona area. We believe that one of the best ways to prevent police abuse is by directly observing the cops in action (More info at http://www.phoenixcopwatch.org/)

Food Not Bombs is one of the fastest growing revolutionary movements and is gaining momentum throughout the world. There are hundreds of autonomous chapters sharing free vegetarian food with hungry people and protesting war and poverty. In Phx we serve every Sunday @ 3pm at Deck Park.

Nuestros Derechos (Our Rights) is a volunteer organization that holds community forums to educate immigrants and their families about their rights under the Constitution. Learn more at www.conozcasusderechos.org

Support the Local Resistance

Coming up tonight and tomorrow night are a couple of fundraisers with great bands for local organizations helping members of the community resist police harassment and oppression.

The first event begins tonight, Friday, July 17 at 7pm at Tonatierra, 802 N. 7th Street (corner of 7th St. and McKinley). "Night of Resistance: Artists for Dignity" will be bringing local and national Hip Hop artists and musicians together in a show of solidarity with the community against unjust laws and legislators. The event is a fundraiser for PuenteAZ. There is a $5 donation requested.


On Saturday, July 18 at 8pm is a fundraising party at the home of a long time peace and justice activist, located at 4225 E. Buena Terra Way in Phoenix. Two awesome bands will be performing: The Haymarket Squares and the Black River Bandit. Suggested donation is $5-$25. This fundraiser is for "Nuestros Derechos", a group which hosts free educational "Know Your Rights" forums in the Phoenix area educating community members about their constitutional rights when interacting with law enforcement officers.
