A Night of Musical Acoustic Insurgency

Sunday June 1st
Sem. 1 4th Floor (sight of the sit-in)

Featuring:

David Rovics

Danny Kelly & Mark Eckert (from Heliotroupe)

Free admission. Fun times. The magic continues.

As part of the educational and community programs SDS has hosted since launching its sit-in in front of Vice President Art Costantino's office, we are proud to sponsor another event. This show features the performers who played the night of the infamous "canceled concert" which lead to the disciplinary action taken by the administration at Evergreen. Hope to see you there.

In Solidarity,
