Drop that accoustic guitar hippy! Start beatboxing for peace. Check out the Make Hip Hop Not War Tour tonight at Clothing of the American Mind shop in Echo Park. There will be beverages, plenty of free street parking, and you'll be treated to an array of performances by DJ Chela, Akir Always Keep It Real), the hip hop artist who has toured with KRS One, Mos Def and the Game, and Seattle-based soul songstress Choklate (picture above).
And you can shop for Clothing of the American Mind's politically charged tees and undies while you bounce and hey-ho.
There will also be guest speakers like the President of the Hip Hop Caucus Rev. Lennox Yearwood, and Mimi Kennedy, Steve Cobble, and Dr. Bill Honigman of Progressive Democrats of America who, according to their press release, hope to "provide the anti-war movement with a "surge" that could transform current public opinion which opposes the war into powerful mobilization against the war. A stronger and more diverse mobilization is critical to force our policymakers to take concrete steps to withdraw our troops from Iraq and to prevent an attack on Iran."
Tonight, Tuesday, April 10th, 6:00 – 8:00 pm
1284 W. Sunset Blvd.
Los Angeles, CA 90026
