4/3: In Syracuse: Fundraiser for the New Orleans Women's Health Clinic!

Resist and Rebuild: A Cultural Event to Celebrate and Raise Money for the New Orleans Women's Health Clinic Join us for a night of music and poetry to celebrate and support the work of the New Orleans Women's Health Clinic. Over two years after Hurricane Katrina many residents are struggling to return and rebuild their communities. The New Orleans Women’s Health Clinic was established by Incite! Women of Color Against Violence in 2007 to meet the pressing health care needs of women in New Orleans. The mission of the clinic is to equip women with the means to control and care for their own bodies, sexuality, reproduction, and health. The clinic is also a community-based institution that will enable residents to rebuild their communities and to organize community-based strategies to improve the social and economic health and well-being of women of color. Artists who are generously sharing their work include poet, playwright, and community activist Jackie Warren-Moore; poet and activist Minnie Bruce Pratt; author and blues musician Arthur Flowers; singer and organizer Colleen Kattau; jazz chanteuse Marcia Rutledge; and vocalist and community organizer Caroline Kim. Sponsored by 2nd Story independent book store and coffee house, Syracuse University Women’s Studies department, and the Activist Geographers Grouping. When & Where: Thursday April 3, 2008, 7pm-9pm @ 2nd Story independent book store and coffee house, 550 Westcott Street, Syracuse. Ph: 315-299-6021. We will be asking for donations throughout the evening, all of which will go to the clinic. For more information, email jenna @ jloyd@syr.edu or phone 310-490-9166.
