“Down to Build”

WE WILL NOT BE SILENT: POETRY ON PALESTINE AND ISRAEL with Kevin Coval and Josh Healey Sunday, October 25 4:00-5:30pm Busboys and Poets, Langston Room 2021 14th St, NW (near U Street Metro station) Washington, DC This past week, Kevin Coval and Josh Healey were censored and un-invited from this weekend’s J Street conference in D.C. as a result of attacks in various right-wing blogs and online magazines. In defiance of these McCarthyist attacks, and J Street’s subsequent accommodation, Coval and Healey have decided to proceed with the original event. They will share their poems and dialogue about Israel/Palestine, identity and justice, and (especially now) free speech. No longer part of the J Street gathering, this event is open to the whole community: conference attendees, artists, activists, youth, elders, Jews, Palestinians, gentiles, and anyone down to build. Free event. All-ages, all are welcome.
