[Lekooks] Voces de la Frontera

[Liz Kreml]

I thought you would appreciate this spoken word on the gentrification of Oakland, CA and lives lost there. Both the message and the performance are stunning. Not quite 4 minutes long.

“How perfect does a black boy have to be before we mourn him.
How quickly must a neighborhood vanish for us to notice.”

Truth be told, this is about a movie coming out, Blindspotting. It’s a movie with a message though.

Dear LCUUCers and Social Justicators - 

Following the wonderful presentations by our friends from Voces de la Frontera on March 25 @LCUUC, let us show support for their efforts on May 1.  See attached flyer for the gathering/demonstration in Cutler Park in Waukesha.   Distribute information as widely as you can.    Consider car-pooling.   

Peace, 

Sara and Bud
