Concert Fundraiser at Ras Uptown Feb. 4


 Flyer design by yours truly.

Press release for Friday's concert fundraiser for Alan Page, DC City Council Candidate, follows below:

[On] Friday, February 4th at Ras (4809 Georgia Ave NW), The Package will be rocking a fundraiser for PKG co-owner Alan Page (a/k/a Spirit, lovingly dubbed “The Suit”), who is on a quest to become an at-large city councilperson in DC!

This would be a huge step forward for the music community in Washington DC and for youth/progressive politics in general. Alan is running as the sole Green Party candidate against seventeen Democrats, one party-nonaffliated Independent and one Republican.

The special election is April 26th, but the party is February 4th! DC hip-hop veterans Head Roc and Born I (also known as Born Infinite) will also be rocking the stage! It’s all a part of the Uptown Friday Nights series that links progressive musicians with progressive causes!

We’re facing a $600 million budget shortfall, but we can’t balance the budget on the backs of the poor. We can also make our tax system more fair, so that those earning $41,000/year aren’t in the same tax bracket as those earning $41 billion/year (as is the case now). We all have to share the pain to share the gain.

Let’s work together to save our (d)iverse (c)ity!

Find out more about Alan’s platform at http://alanpagedc.com
And come rock out with us next Friday!

Thanks!
In solidarity,
Alan (Spirit) a/k/a me!
