DESCRIPTION:KALW PRESENTS\nTAVIS SMILEY & DR. CORNEL WEST\nAT OAKLAND’S PARAMOUNT 
 THEATRE\nSATURDAY, APRIL 28TH AT 6PM\n \nSan Francisco (April 23,2012) In 
 their new book, "The Rich and the Rest of Us: A Poverty Manifesto," 
 award-winning broadcaster Tavis Smiley and leading public intellectual Dr. 
 Cornel West take on the "p" word - poverty. They challenge all Americans to 
 re-examine their assumptions about poverty in America - what it really is 
 and how to eradicate it. \n	91.7 KALW Local Public Radio, which broadcasts 
 the nationally-syndicated weekly radio program, "Smiley & West" on Fridays 
 at 1pm, is proud to present Tavis Smiley and Dr. West in their only Bay 
 Area appearance, at Oakland’s Paramount Theatre on Saturday, April 28th 
 at 6pm.  The event is free and open to the public on a first-come 
 first-served basis.  \n 	Smiley and West will be discussing a topic that's 
 hugely relevant in the Bay Area, where upwards of 12% of residents live 
 below the poverty line.  And the discussion won't stop at the edge of the 
 stage.  KALW is bringing together organizations from around the region that 
 work daily to raise awareness about poverty and economic inequality; many 
 of them will be represented in the lobby after the event (confirmed 
 community partners listed below). We encourage everyone who attends to talk 
 with these grassroots organizers, learn how they can get involved, and 
 leave with new perspective and new purpose.\n\nConfirmed community 
 partners:\nAlameda County Food Bank, Causa Justa/Just Cause, Center for 
 Urban Schools and Partnerships at Mills College, EARN (Earned Assets 
 Resource Network), EBASE (East Bay Alliance for a Sustainable Economy), 
 EBAYC (East Bay Asian Youth Center), East Oakland Community Project, Ella 
 Baker Center, Family Independence Initiative, PICO California (People 
 Improving Communities through Organizing), San Francisco Food Bank, United 
 Way Bay Area, The Unity Council, Urban Habitat, Women’s Economic Agenda 
 Project, Youth Radio  \n\n
