   The Troops Out Now Coalition (TONC) has called for an Encampment in =3D
Washington D.C. starting from Saturday September 22nd and culminating in =3D
a mass march on Saturday September 29th.

   It?s absolutely critical that we take the struggle against the war out =
=3D
of the halls of Congress and put it where it needs to be -- back on the =3D
streets. We are calling on artists in the movement, musicians and spoken =3D
word artists specifically, to see if we can organize entertainment for =3D
the days of the encampment.

   We don?t have funds, so this will have to be on a voluntary basis, but =
=3D
we want to attract more people into the street by having groups perform. =3D
Not to make light of the seriousness of the struggle, but because =3D
expressions of art are critical for the movement and to show that =3D
musical expressions are not superficial, as mass media would have many =3D
believe, but there is a great movement of musical artists that have yet =3D
to be exposed to the broader movement.

   We are soliciting the help of artists, hip hop musicians, Blues, Jazz, =
=3D
Soul and R/B and Rock and Roll, to help build a musical/artistic =3D
component to this encampment.
