DESCRIPTION:Join poets, artists and activists in a show of support for the sick, 
 disabled and elderly victims of Hurricane Katrina survivors, Tuesday, 
 September 20, 2005, 7-10 p.m. at La Pena Cultural Center, 3105 Shattuck 
 Avenue, Berkeley, CA, (510) 849-2568. The suggested donation is $5-$25, 
 although no amount is too small.   What is evident since Hurricane Katrina 
 hit the southern states is how the most vulnerable populations are often 
 the first forgotten: the elderly, the disabled, and the young. Many 
 wheelchair users drowned, while others died in the ensuing days from an 
 inadequate continuum of care.   There will be a fine art silent auction 
 beginning at 7 p.m., along with a screening of ANSWER Coalition filmmaker, 
 Gloria La Riva's recently shot short video of Katrina?s aftermath in 
 Louisiana (http://answerla.org/.) This will be followed by performances of 
 some of the San Francisco Bay Area's most exciting poets and performance 
 artists, interspersed with updates by service providers and survivors now 
 living here.   Confirmed artists: Charles Hawkins Jr., (a Katrina 
 survivor), Lee Williams, devorah major, Karla Brundage, Charles Blackwell, 
 Paradise, Hassaun Ali Jones Bey, Leroy F. Moore, Jr., Wanda Sabir, Kaylah 
 Marin, Kim Shuck, Robert Henry Johnson, Reggie James, Shaka Jamal, Larry 
 Ukali Johnson-Redd.   Proceeds will go to the Center for Independent 
 Living, Inc. (Berkeley) for use with survivors here and for their affiliate 
 organizations in Houston, Texas and Jackson, Mississippi. There will also 
 be information about other grassroots organizations assisting survivors 
 here and elsewhere.   \n
