[Indigsol] Sing 4 Justice! callout and facebook group

[Loh]

Essentially I ripped off Matt's advert for the movie, touched a couple of
things and made a facebook group out of it. Please forward the below as far
and wide as possible.

______________________________________________

Walk 4 Justice fundraising concert at Umi!
Open mic and headline show featuring some of Ottawa's most talented local
indigenous and non indigenous musicians and poets, as well as stories from
the strong protestors who have crossed the nation to deliver their message
to Canada.

The Walk 4 Justice is a community of brave women and their supporters who
are travelling
3500 miles from Vancouver to Ottawa to bring awareness to the issue of
missing and murdered Aboriginal women. Come listen to their stories, sing
and dance to the sound of solidarity.

In the last decade over 3,000 women have gone missing, 80% of whom are
aboriginal.  The walkers intend to present a petition on September 15
to Prime Minister Steven Harper and Indian Affairs Minister Chuck
Strahl in hopes that the current government will take a proactive approach
to ending violence against Aboriginal women.

Come out for an inspiring passion-filled night with local musicians and
poets Albert Dumont, Tom Powless, Christopher Herodier, Suzanne Keeptwo,
Horus Heavens and members of Ottawa's own poetry team the Young Griot
Collective, plus many more local talents at the open mic!

 Suggested Donation $5-$15.  No one will be turned away.
Sept. 12 at 7:00pm
Umi Cafe 610 Somerset West (Corner of Somerset & Percy)
All donations go to the Walk 4 Justice
Everyone Welcome!
