DESCRIPTION:The Global Elevation Movement, KPFA Unpaid Staff Organization (UPSO), First 
 Voice Media Action, Media Alliance, The San Francisco Bay View, Poor 
 Magazine, Critical Resistance and COPWATCH, are joining together to sponsor 
 a benefit event for KPFA programmer Nadra Foster.\n\nNotable authors, 
 poets, and performers scheduled to perform at the benefit include:\n\nI GO! 
 - Poetry leadership and performance by Oakland students,\n\nShaverik of 
 East Bay Politics,\n\nAndrea Prichett, of Rebecca Riots,\n\nTiny 
 Grey-Garcia of Poor Magazine\n\nAnd more…\n\nFoster, a KPFA volunteer 
 producer and host of 12 years duration, was roughly arrested by the 
 Berkeley Police Department on August 20th, 2008, after KPFA management 
 called the police to enforce a nebulous “banning” imposed on the 
 long-time volunteer in a dispute over copy machine usage.\n\nDuring the 
 arrest, Foster was restrained, and suffered a severe wrist sprain and 
 bruising. The Alameda County DA filed multiple charges and she is still 
 facing 5 charges including trespassing, resisting arrest and multiple 
 charges of assault on a law officer. Proceeds from the benefit will be used 
 to pay attorney’s fees for the young single mother.\n\nCome celebrate 
 with us in Defense of Nadra Foster, support independent media, mourn for 
 those who pay too high a price for the divides in our society, help out a 
 woman in need and honor the spirit of resistance to police brutality 
 whenever and wherever it occurs. \n\nLet’s spark a global movement toward 
 consciousness, elevation and enlightenment!\n\n
