Living Off the Row Open Mic Night Fundraiser
by xabiergranja on Feb.02, 2010, under Events
In addition to our usual potluck events, the HUB is hosting a special fundraiser for Ronald Kitchen and Marvin Reeves, two extraordinary men who spent over 20 years behind bars for a crime they did not commit. Mr. Kitchen was sentenced to be executed and Mr. Reeves received life. They were both tortured by the infamous Jon Burge and his henchmen to confess. After years of court hearings, grassroots activism and publicity of their cases, they are now free men. They are rebuilding their lives and integrating themselves back into society. They could use some help!
the HUB is hosting an open mic/jam session/dinner to help Ronald and Marvin get back on their feet. Recite your poetry or stories, bring your instruments and leave the cooking to us. We will provide dinner, beverages, and dessert.
$15 suggested donation for dinner. There will be a dessert table.
