DESCRIPTION:What is Y Fest?  •	A rally/festival celebrating the power Bay Area youth 
 have, as individuals and collectively, to make a difference in local, 
 national and global issues.   •	A day of music, spoken word, art, and 
 speeches to celebrate the fact that young people are not the problem, but 
 instead a critical part of the solution to problems faced by our community 
 and world. All performers are local youth!  Why Y Fest?  •	The name “Y 
 Fest” was invented last year by a group of high school students who were 
 organizing the event. The Y stands for both Generation Y and Youth.  
 •	The point is to celebrate and bring attention to the positive 
 contributions that young people can and are making in the world. We want to 
 inspire more youth to take action and draw media attention to all the good 
 things that youth are doing -  provide a positive youth-news story to 
 counter the far too many negative ones that are out there!  Who will be 
 there? Who should go?  •	Anyone and everyone can attend Y Fest. It is 
 FREE. The focus is people who are 21 and under, but all are welcome. The 
 artists, poets & musicians are from Bay Area high schools and youth 
 organizations – we are still recruiting, so if you would are interested 
 in performing, email: yfest@givingrevolution.org   •	There will be booths 
 with food, information on organizations that work with young people or want 
 youth help, and youth-made items for sale (t-shirts/CD’s...).  •	This 
 is the 2nd Y Fest. The first one was last year at Civic Center Plaza. It 
 was a really fun day that drew about 1,500 people – mostly youth. This 
 year, we expect even more people to be there!  When is Y Fest?  SATURDAY,
