The Defense of Protest Concert

A Benefit for United for Peace and Justice.

United for Peace and Justice was denied a New York City permit to
rally in Central Park. The reason cited: It would hurt the grass. Sound
democratic to you? We can defend our right to protest by helping UFPJ
in their efforts to amplify the August 29th rally on the West Side Highway.

Come take part in a fabulous evening while supporting the cause!

Performances include:

Stephan Smith
Guitarist/Songwriter

Billionaires for Bush
An exhilarating exercise in mass sarcasm and hard-hitting social commentary
