Culver City, CA

Come have fun and help fund the continued and growing free distribution of TTT to hundreds locked down in CA and across the US.

You are invited to join slam-poetry champs Jerry Quickley and Matt Sedillo, spoken word artist Lindsey Cristofani, and rapper Double-Barrel, along with General T.A.C.O. of the Black Riders Liberation Party, and TTT founder Michael Novick at an evening of celebration of the 25th anniversary of “Turning the Tide: Journal of Anti-Racist Action, Research & Education.” It’s a benefit event to raise the funds to continue printing and mailing the publication free to over 1700 prisoners.

The evening will include a buffet, a presentation of the “Prison Nation” prison poster art show by Mary Sutton and Carol Wells of the Center for the Study of Political Graphics, a display of prisoner letters and art by “Break the Lock,” a presentation by a member of the Sex Workers Outreach Project, a silent art auction, literature tables, music and much more. Everyone who attends will also receive a special commemorative book featuring writings from all 25 years of TTT’s publication.
Now as part of the Inter-Communal Solidarity Committee initiated by the Black Riders Liberation Party, it provides an on-line home to the Break the Lock project at http://tideturning.org/breakthelock. Back issues of Turning the Tide from the beginning of 2007 are archived in pdf format online at www.antiracist.org.

Come celebrate that record of solidarity, and help make it possible for the paper to continue publishing, reaching out to and sharing the words of hundreds of those locked down, often in isolation, behind prison walls.
Admission to the event is $20 in advance [$25 at the door] payable to Anti-Racist Action (or $30 with a one-year subscription to Turning the Tide added). Larger donations of course would be gratefully accepted.
