April 2nd - 4 The People Fundraiser
On Saturday April 2nd over 150 people came out to the Lick
Club in Vancouver for 4 The People, a fundraiser to benefit
Mobilization Against War and Occupation (MAWO). The evening
featured a line up of great performances by local DJ's, Hip
Hop artists, and visual artists. With the support of all the
people that came out for the event MAWO has raised over
$1000 for ongoing antiwar, anti-occupation work. Featuring
performances by DJ Sage, P.O.S., Ndidi Cascade, Sons of
Zadok, Gemineye, and Slow DJ's, the night was a huge success
showing the relationship between the art & culture of Hip
Hop and the politics of war and occupation.
Visuals that accompanied performers cast images of resistance
from Iraq to Palestine on the stage. Original footage of
Palestinian youth battling IDF tanks with small stones and
rubble while half way across the world
MC’s stood on the stage
speaking of struggle and resistance. Combining MAWO's antiwar
work with performances, 4 The People was incredibly
effective
at adding this perspective of art and culture to the antiwar
movement. Thanks to everyone who
made the night possible and
continuing to work to expand the antiwar, anti-occupation
movement.
