As we march forward in these historic times to change this struggling nation we need music to dance to when we are felling good, and songs that lift our spirits when they are low. We are calling all artists with messages of peace, hope, justice, tribulation, joy, pain, and victory to our weekly open mic event. Music and poetry have the ability to travel beyond our false borders and reach deep into our hearts, minds and souls. Poetry and music connect people in ways beyond our imagination but within our realm of experience. In the creatively peaceful spirit of the Poor People's Campaign and following the inspiration of Durell Gilmore, we will host weekly truth slams in Kansas City during the 40 days of nonviolent moral fusion direct action Every Thursday from 5/17-6/21 Hosted by Miles Megaciph Sounds by Papa Biz @Risen Lamb Church 5301 Metropolitan Avenue KCK 66106 8pm-11pm No Cover We will have a weekly poet featured We will have a weekly songwriter featured For features PLEASE CONTACT: Ashanti Spears or Miles Thomas We are passing the hat to pay: DJ, Features, and for the PPC Art Supplies Fund We want your original or favorite cover songs of revolution, struggle and triumph We want to hear your voices and your words and your ideas Thank you @VFPNational @Megaciph @poorpeoplescampaign @standupkc #kcmo #kcks #standupkc #WhyPPC #poorpeoplescampaign #lyricsmatter #hiphoppapapa #CodeSwitching #ELDM (at Risen Lamb International Church of the Nazarene)
