DESCRIPTION:The SF Bay View newspaper and Block Report Radio are proud and excited to 
 announce that former Congresswoman and presidential candidate Cynthia 
 McKinney is coming to the San Francisco Bay Area to tell the story of her 
 three valiant attempts and final success at entering Gaza to show 
 solidarity and provide humanitarian aid to its besieged people. Her 
 generosity extends to the SF Bay View; proceeds from all her appearances 
 will keep this struggling newspaper alive and thriving.\n\nOakland’s 
 landmark Grand Lake Theater, 3200 Grand Ave., is the venue for the first 
 and main event of her four-day tour, on Thursday, Aug. 20, 6:30 p.m. Spread 
 the word so we can fill the house – all 600 seats.\n\nOn Friday at 6:30 
 p.m., she’ll meet you personally at the legendary Black Dot in West 
 Oakland, hosted by Marcel Diallo, star of CNN’s “Black in America 2.” 
 Folks in Sonoma will flock to Sonoma State on Saturday at 3 p.m. It’s on 
 to San Francisco Sunday, Aug. 23, 4 p.m., at the Lunacy Theater in the 
 grand old Redstone Building, known as the Labor Temple when San 
 Francisco’s world famous general strike was planned there in 
 1934.\n\nHere’s the schedule in a nutshell:\n\n    * Thursday, Aug. 20, 
 6:30pm, Grand Lake Theater, 3200 Grand Ave., Oakland, $15 (no one turned 
 away, space permitting), tickets available in advance at the Grand Lake box 
 office\n    * Friday, Aug. 21, 6:30pm, Black Dot, 1195 Pine St., West 
 Oakland\n    * Saturday, Aug. 22, 3 p.m., Warren Auditorium, Ives Hall, 
 Sonoma State University, 1801 East Cotati Ave., Rohnert Park, $5, free 
 parking\n    * Sunday, Aug. 23, 4pm, Lunacy Theater, Redstone Building, 
 2940 16th St. at Mission (16th Street BART), San Francisco, $15 (no one 
 turned away, space permitting)\n\nCheck back often for news of more events 
 and more details about each of the events, such as the other popular 
 personalities who will share the various stages with Cynthia. We can tell 
 you now that KPFA’s Flashpoints hosts Dennis Bernstein and Nora Barrows 
 Friedman, renowned for cutting edge coverage of Palestine, will join 
 Cynthia at the Grand Lake Theater.\n\nYou’ll hear all about the Israeli 
 Navy’s kidnapping in international waters of Cynthia and the rest of the 
 Free Gaza 21 and their week in an Israeli prison, where they discovered 
 that most of Israel’s prisoners are Black Africans. Expect to hear 
 Cynthia’s wisdom, too, on the rise of progressive independent media, such 
 as the SF Bay View, Block Report Radio and the Pacifica network – KPFA in 
 Berkeley, KPFK in LA, KPFT in Houston, WPFW in DC, WBAI in New York and 133 
 affiliate stations – as the old mainstream media Goliaths fall.\n\nWe are 
 profoundly grateful to all of you who are and will be working with us to 
 make this a tour that will transform the Bay Area and beyond. Feel free to 
 contact POCC Minister of Information JR at blockreportradio@sfbayview.com 
 or Mary Ratcliff at editor@sfbayview.com or (415) 671-0789 with any 
 questions or suggestions.\n\n
