"REBELS ROCK ON FOR IRAQI REFUGEES" AT EL BALAZO FRIDAY JUNE 13TH
"Rebels Rock On For Iraqi Refugees", a collaborative effort by Mission district activists will kick off Friday, June 13th at El Balazo Gallery 2183 Mission Street at 17th starting at 8 PM.
On hand to rock on will be punk troubadour and event-instigator Tommy Strange (solo electric set); Beltaine's Fire, a fusion of Celtic folk music and hip-hop (myspace.com.beltainesfire); and The Countless Others (myspace.com.thecountlessothers), described by Strange as "a manic charged fuzz garage punk band." Also on stage will be veteran Mexico City-Mission district poet, activist, and globetrotting troublemaker John Ross who traveled to Baghdad in 2003 as a human shield to interpose his body between the bombs of Bush and the Iraqi people.
All proceeds from "Rebels Rock On For Iraqi Refugees" will be donated to the Collateral Repair Project, a grassroots organization that seeks to repair some of the damage inflicted upon the Iraqi people by George Bush's illegal war. The Collateral Repair Project delivers person-to-person material aid to damaged populations both in Iraq and amongst the nearly 1,000,000 refugees who have been forced into Jordan.

"Rebels Rock On For Iraq Refugees" gets underway at 8 PM. Donations at the door ($5 to $50) go directly to Iraqi refugees.
