yesterday, michele and i met with folks from the groundUP movement to discuss the art/music/education/awareness thing that we feel called to put on, in our all-out assault on human trafficking. it was cool to wax philosophical with steven and discover that our visions are quite aligned with regard to the event.
as of now, we hope to:
a) shut down bethel and merchant (aka st. patty's day hq)
b) get a bunch of artists to create a mural
c) sell the jewelry we bought
d) have artists create t-shirts
e) get some boooooze (but also ensure that the event is minor friendly)
f) get sponsorship and try to involve various local designers
g) have sick musicians
h) loop images/a movie (potentially projected onto a building)
hopefully, this will all occur during the last friday or saturday in june and will stir things up a little bit for pimps, johns, and prostituted persons.
got a website started, but it is SUPER lame, so i would not suggest visiting it as of yet. we are looking for vibrant, bubbly, artsy, passionate volunteers (and even if you don't fit this bill, don't rule yourself out). contact us asap!
