 Contact Emmanuel at guerrillawordfare@gmail.com or Locus Arts at 
 us@locusarts.org\n********************\n\nAs the 5-year annniversary of the 
 incidents of Sep. 11, 2001 quickly approaches, we find ourselves looking 
 back on the last 5 years, examining what has and has not changed in the 
 world, in this country, in our communities, in our lives. Wars. Patriot 
 Acts, Civil Liberties. Racisms, Immigration debates, Xenophobia, Domestic 
 Crisis, Resistance, Affirmation, Growth, Loss, Change. \nWhile these 
 dynamics still play themselves out locally and globally, the powerful 
 manipulate the events of Sep 11th (and its wake) for their own political 
 agendas. As people of color in the U.S., We felt it would be important to 
 gather and share some of our OWN stories, our own experiences, 
 perspectives, visions on the last 5 years, to reclaim and rename the loss, 
 the emotions, the changes, reshape the political landscape. Give voice to 
 the better world we know is possible.\nIf this resonates with you in any 
 way, we hope you will join us for the following event (see below) on the 
 evening of Sat Sep 9. Bring a friend. Family. a listening ear, an open 
 mind. And please, help spread the word.\nWe're really excited about the 
 artists coming together to share with us that night; they are amongst the 
 bay area's most talented, visionary, outspoken, magical. Their hearts and 
 bloodlines come from New York City, Cuba, Korea, Egypt, Lebanon, Aztlan, 
 Pakistan.  They are part of an 'emergent sea' of voices in opposition, a 
 rising tide of resistance, and we hope you will be present to hear them as 
 part of the first of what will be many Guerrilla Wordfare*  events in the 
 bay area.\n\n*******************\n\n*Guerrilla Wordfare is a grassroots 
 project bringing together artists of color to address socio-political 
 issues and raise funds for progressive/radical organizing in communities of 
 color through art as a tool of social change. Founded in Minneapolis, MN in 
 2001, GW has organized numerous events events in the Twin Cities area, on 
 issues such as police brutality, the Zapatistas, Immigration, Labor, 
 Women's struggles, Cuba, and more. In 2006, Guerrilla Wordfare moves to the 
 bay area Cali, to work in the local communities.\n
