 Lockett, and others perform in support of the candidacies of Cynthia 
 McKinney and Tennessee Reed.\n\nAnna’s Jazz Island is located at 2120 
 Allston Way, just east of Shattuck Avenue and downtown Berkeley Bart. There 
 will be a small reception, and a donation of $10 will be requested at the 
 door.\n \nCynthia McKinney has proven that she is a leader. She was the 
 first ever African American woman from the state of Georgia to be elected 
 to Congress. In an exclusive interview with Wikinews, former Congresswoman 
 Cynthia McKinney states why she switched to the Green Party. "Due to the 
 importance of environmental issues, Green issues are the issues of today. 
 The Ten Key Values of the Green Party stress us getting along with each 
 other in harmony with the planet that gives us life."\n \nWhen asked about 
 how she would handle Iraq she replied, "I would instruct the Joint Chiefs 
 to draw up a plan for the orderly withdrawal of all U.S. troops from the 
 country. I would dismantle our military bases in the area, and I would also 
 demand that U.S. and other international corporations relinquish any claims 
 to Iraqi oil or other resources and withdraw as well."\n\nMumia Abu Jamal, 
 live from Prison Radio May 1st reports: "McKinney offers not just the 
 illusion, but the reality of change. Her record of speaking out against the 
 U.S. war machine, the military-industrial complex, and other issues of 
 concern is head and shoulders above any of the other candidates running for 
 office, on either party."\n \nOn the local level, District 1 Oakland School 
 Board Candidate Tennessee Reed states, “I will insist that the resources 
 available to schools in the Hills will also be available to the schools in 
 the Flats.”  Her book, "Spell Albuquerque" about her education in the 
 East Bay, will be published in the Fall by Counterpunch Press.\n \nDrop by 
 Anna Jazz Island on Sunday, May 11th for an afternoon of music, poetry, and 
 conversation on the real issues that Americans are facing in this election 
 year.\n \nIf you’re interested in an interview, images, or more
