YouthPower! OpenMic :: We Want Peace & Justice! Not War!
For the past 11 years, the U.S. has waged endless wars with countries such as Afghanistan and Iraq. The wars have expanded through the use of drone strikes on Pakistan, Libya, Somalia and Yemen. The wars have resulted in thousands of innocent lives lost and billions of tax dollars spent for an already inflated military budget. Inside the United States the expansion of wars have caused reduced funding for Education, Housing, Healthcare and Jobs for millions of people.
On August 16th, DRUM YouthPower! members, along with fellow youth from across the city and military veterans came together to speak out & mobilize action for the October 7th National Mobilizations to End Wars by the United National Anti-War Coalition (UNAC).
A powerful evening of Music, Poetry, Resistance and Unity!
Invited Speakers:
Youth from DRUM, VAMOS Unidos, Ugnayan, Ya-Ya Network and many youth and community organizations
United National Anti-War Coalition
