YES! Magazine's 2nd Annual Celebration of People Power

Don’t miss this rare opportunity to hear Pulitzer Prize-winner Alice Walker (The Color Purple, The Chicken Chronicles) and bestselling author Frances Moore Lappé (Diet for a Small Planet, EcoMind), speak to our power as change makers, interwoven with inspiring music from Makana, the acclaimed Hawaiian songwriter and slack-key guitarist who made national news last fall when he performed his Occupy anthem, “We Are the Many,” for President Obama.

When: This Wednesday, June 6, at 7 p.m. (doors open at 6 p.m., general seating. Drinks will be available for sale.)

Where: Town Hall Seattle, 1119 8th Ave (at 8th & Seneca. Convention Center parking is $4 when validated by Town Hall.)

What to expect: A vibrant cross-section of the Seattle environmental & social justice communities gathered for an uplifting and thought-provoking evening. A dessert reception will follow in the lobby, with live music from Makana, book signing, and locally-sourced refreshments. All proceeds from this evening will benefit the nonprofit YES! Magazine. Donations made that night will be matched, and are tax-deductible.

Tickets: For sale at the door. General admission tickets are $25 and include a one-year subscription to YES! Magazine for non-subscribers. Discounts available for YES! subscribers, students, and seniors. No one will be turned away for lack of funds.

Live streaming: Can’t make it to Town Hall Seattle that night? No problem. We'll have a live video stream of the full program at yesmagazine.org/townhall2012
