Join us for a celebratory dinner and conversation in the spirit of Martin Luther King Jr.

Spoken word artists D Cross and Bettina Gold, and poet Eric Waters are all intimately acquainted with the criminal justice system. Each artist’s performance will be followed by another course of great food and time for planning specific actions to increase awareness of racism and to reduce the harm of mass incarceration in the U.S.

Free will donations gratefully accepted.

The event at the church (entrance is on 11th Street between Second Avenue and Third Avenue) is 6:30-9 p.m. Details here.

  1. Nice! Other churches should follow this trend. Less publicity and performance (like MCC) for actual SERVICE. Thank you St.Marks!
