Poets, DJ Revolution, Art Start Project Immortal technique and Tahir are on
the road with the no admission American Civil Liberties Union’s College Freedom
tour.
The tour is aimed
at educating college students about the climate of the United States after the
September 11 terror attacks on the United States.
"While the
point is to have fun, we can’t resist taking this opportunity to inform and
update you on issues that we at the ACLU see as critical: the USA Patriot Act,
racial justice, individual privacy and surveillance," ACLU’s executive
director Anthony D. Romero said. "It’s crucial that we take care in this
tense post 9/11 climate to protect our hard won civil liberties, especially
now that the government has lowered our protections and redrawn the lines."
The next event
takes place Friday, September 26 at New School University in New York City.
Doors open at 6:00
P.M. and will start with an hour long political forum, which is then followed
by a concert from the participating groups.
The tickets are
free and available on a first come, first serve basis.
