We are days away from this year's Spring Equinox and Third Act’s National Day of Action on March 21st. Idle No More SF Bay, Indigenous Women of the Americas Defending Mother Earth Treaty and Climate Justice Street Mural Art Project invite you to join us on the evening of Monday March 20th at Urban Tilth in North Richmond for storytelling and song sharing with First Nations artist/musicians Isaac Murdoch and Shannon Paul.This will be an outdoors event with limited parking space so we highly encourage folks to carpool and bring lawn chairs. Be sure to check the weather and bring extra layers.
Sunday March 18th we will host an art build to create patches and banners (featuring the art of Isaac Murdoch) for the Action on March 21st and for Isaac and Shannon to bring back to their home territories. We will also practice street mural painting of Isaac’s beautiful design (if the weather lets us!). We invite you to come join this art event with us as well!
This is an alcohol and drug free evening event, please respect our guests and our host. Thank you.
