Here's just a few places where the FTP Movement will be this month:
Hip Hop for Palestine is unifying Atlanta's hip hop community in support of Palestine's biggest hip hop crew, Da Arabic MCs (DAM) and their message of resistance.
For over 10 years, DMA's brothers by blood and friendship, Suhell, Tamer and Mahmoud have told their stories of Palestine's plight. DAM's music is a unique fusion of east and west, combining Arabic percussion rhythms, Middle Eastern melodies, and urban hip hop. One of the first groups to rap in Arabic, DAM's song "Min Irhabi" ("Who's the Terrorist") became the anthem for Palestinian resistance both within and beyond their borders.
With resounding support from the hip hop community, Hip Hop for Palestine welcomes Detroit's Invincible, an MC on the forefront of the Palestinian cause & Khaki Mustafa, a socially conscious Palestinian-American hip-hop artist, plus addresses from prominent local activists and appearances by local MCs such as J-Live, Rasheeda Ali, Sa-Roc/Sol Messiah, Ras Kofi, Methuzulah and Khalila Ali.
Find out more about DAM at www.damrap.com.
Doors at 8 pm, Show at 9 pm
Tickets $15

They Reminisce Over You:
WE ARE TROY DAVIS ART EXHIBIT
Raw Space Gallery
431 Fair Street, Castleberry Hill District, Atlanta, GA 30313
Atlanta, Georgia
7 PM to 11 PM
Sounds provided by
DJ Mafioso and DJ 4th Wurld
The purpose of this exhibit is to re-ignite the necessary awareness of
the events surrounding the legal murder of Troy Davis. As with Sean Bell, Katheryn Johnston, Oscar Grant and countless other victims of injustice, we forget the responsibilities we have as individuals, as a community and as a nation to continue the fight for true freedom and justice.
This art show is a call to rally visual artists to produce pieces that will make a statement against injustice, challenge responsibility, create awareness, and motivate and inspire action in our communities.
There was a Troy Davis before Troy Davis, and there will be many more if we don't take a stance.
