Is there an event in San Francisco on December 10, 2010 for Universal Declaration of Human Rights?
Yes!
16 Days of ARTivism! Closing celebration – Songs for a New Beginning – for Healing & Education
Friday December 10th, 2010 Teatro del MCCLA, 7:00pm
Suggested donation: $5-$20
Mission Cultural Center for Latino Arts 2868 Mission Street, San Francisco CA 94110
In recognition of the 62nd anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and the closing of the 16 days of ARTivism for the healing of violence toward women and girls, MamaCoAtl hosts an evening of poetry, spoken word and performance art dedicated to ending violence against women, immigrants and the LGBT community. The multiple ways that people from these communities are the targets of violence represent the most egregious violations of human rights today. Tonight, we celebrate our human rights and reclaim those that have been taken from us.
Featured artists: Cihuatl Ce, HeadRush Productions, MamaCoatl, Yosimar Reyes, a special performance by Violeta Luna, and much more.
Activities to raise public awareness that say “END Violence Against Women & Girls!”
Sincerely,
Teresa LeYung Ryan

April is National Poetry Month but every day is poetry. When I listen to songs, I tend to remember the lyrics before I can remember the melodies. Commercials hook me when I hear poetry in them.
Here are poets I pay attention to. They all wear many brilliant hats.
- Martha Clark Scala. This YouTube video shows Martha the poet on April 2, 2010 at Escape from New York Pizza, San Francisco http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5e7v716WQ0 To see what other hats Martha wears, please visit www.mcscala.com
- Joan Gelfand. A powerful speaker. http://joangelfand.com/listen http://joangelfand.com/main/ has the link to the video of Joan with Kim McMillon with Janice Edwards on Bay Area Vista.
- Deborah Grossman, City of Pleasanton Poet Laureate! Delightful. You can meet Deborah at events this summer, autumn and winter: http://www.ci.pleasanton.ca.us/community/arts/civic-arts-literary.html http://www.deborahgrossman.com/
- Yolande Barial, founder of Your Words Project. You just have to meet Yolande and hear her poetry, her spoken word. Please add audio to your blog. http://yolandebarial.wordpress.com/
- Maxine Hong Kingston. Her book The Woman Warrior had inspired me to write my stories which turned into Love Made of Heart the novel. Lunch Poems: Maxine Hong Kingston. She is SO funny! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yeaOmyZk4U0 And mesmerizing. Zen circles; Chinese 4 word poems.
My hat off to you, Martha, Joan, Deborah, Yolande, Maxine!
Sincerely,
Teresa
