DESCRIPTION:Michael Franti, Spearhead and the Guerrilla Management Collective bring you 
 the 4th annual 911 festival where music, art and activism come together to 
 make the revolution irresistible. \n\nUnifying the Peace Community is the 
 mission of the 4th Annual 911 Festival. Franti states "911 began in 1999 as 
 an international day of art and culture in support of political prisoner 
 Mumia Abu Jamal. The eleventh day of the ninth month (911) was chosen to 
 call attention to the emergency status of Mumia's impending execution. In 
 2000 the event was expanded to show support for all prisoners on death row, 
 and to speak out against the exponential growth of the prison industrial 
 complex. In 2001 the day of September eleventh took on a wider significance 
 as a result of the tragic loss of life which took place on the attacks of 
 the day. At our 4th annual 911 Power to the Peaceful Festival, we will 
 create a compassionate space of healing for ALL those people killed or 
 displaced by terrorism and by the war on terrorism." \n\nThe main stage 
 will showcase a keynote speaker, spoken word, and live musical acts with 
 Michael Franti and Spearhead headlining. Amy Goodman, (award-winning 
 journalist of National Radio and TV program Democracy Now!), Mario Africa 
 (MOVE and AWOL organization), Krist Novoselic (formally of Nirvana), and 
 Medea Benjamin (Global Exchange), Sat Santokh (speaker) are the confirmed 
 speakers. Mystic (hip hop artist), Los Mocosos (SF Latin-based rock, funk, 
 salsa band), Medicine Drum (electronic/tribal band), New Soul Singers 
 (gospel band), JahYzer (Jah Warrior Shelter), Snatam (music) Garth 
 (Wicked), Ms. E (FutureBreaks FM), DJ Soulsalaam, Sake 1 (Local 1200) and 
 DJ Adnan (Uniting Souls) are confirmed musical acts. \n\nAn open-air art 
 gallery, a healing arts tent, guerrilla theater, a DJ tent and conscious 
 commercial vendors and food booths will all be on site. More than 100 
 social organizations will table at the event and host workshops the 
 following day. On Sunday September 8th, in alliance with human rights 
 organization Global Exchange, the 911 Festival will sponsor a social forum 
 exploring political, social and human rights issues.  \n\n\n
