Ford, and will include a diverse blend of music, dance, poetry, visual art and multimedia by local Performers and Artists.

“Welcome to America: There’s Gotta Be Something Better Than This Crap…” (Part 3) reflects on how we currently live in a world full of chaos, and social and economic unrest. It will show our fading civil liberties, our lack of acceptance, tolerance, and people’s false sense of freedom, safety and security in the dominating Land of the Afraid. This piece will emphasize how important it is for us to stand up for our rights, and strengthen our communities, because in the end, we cannot rely on government officials to save us. Our power to help one another is far greater if we stand in unity, and realize that we’re all connected. Believe in making a difference.
