What can you show us in 120 seconds? by Sura, February 25

Friends, Comrade, Artists, Culture Creators, Activists, Performers, Ranters, Dancers, Spirit Leaders, and Exuberant New-path Makers,

What are you passionate about? What are you working on? Come and tell us!

7th Annual St. Pat/St. Brigid All City Gathering of Activists, Artists and Culture Creators at Club Timbuktu

Join us for music, dancing, poetry, puppetry and all kinds of soapbox moments! This is an opportunity for you to showcase your ideas, projects, movements, hopes, organizational work and art to hundreds of the city’s most active and engaged people. You will have only 2 minutes (120 seconds) to present. Because the place will be crowded and distracting, we encourage presenters to be engaging and demonstrative. Think of this as an opportunity for Show and Tell .

There will also be a lit table available. Feel free to bring something to share.

***IMPORTANT***

If you want a 2-minute soapbox moment, please email at sura@suraforchange.com a.s.a.p. (instructions below).

We are going to be watching the time (and we’ll have a gong or cane. watch out!). Please time yourself, so that we don’t have to.
While we hope to accommodate everyone, we are unable to guarantee late inclusions. Please sign up ahead of time if you want a sure spot.

To be included in the soapbox moments:

. If you are representing an organization, movement, group or idea, we need the name of that org, etc. along with the name of the person presenting.
. If you want to do a creative piece , i.e. poetry, music, dance, performance, etc. send us your name, what you want to do, and time requested. We may be able to allow for more time on some of the creative presentations.
. What time slot do you want to be in? We haven’t exactly determined them, but generally: 5:30 – 7:00, 7:00 – 8:00, 8:00 – 9:30. Please give your first and second preference. We will send out the schedule after we have you plugged in, and you’ll need to register your arrival at the door.

Thank you! by Sura, February 20

Dear Friends, Neighbors and Community,

I am so honored to have the dedicated support of so many amazing, intelligent, creative and hopeful people.

We did not make it through the primary, but if we stay together, there is still so much for us to gain. There are many ways to get what we are looking for. I will post more about that in the upcoming days, along with my endorsement in the upcoming aldermanic race.

Again, thank you for your support, love and respect. I am so privileged to have gotten to know so many people. If you want to get involved in local community issues, I will continue to be engaged. Come with me.

Peace and local power,
Sura
