On December 10, 2007, Dr. Shakur will go for his parole hearing. We are asking that you please send letters of support so that this day does not pass in vain. It is our duty to support those in our community who have laid their lives on the line for us and served to decrease injustice
and oppression.

Poems Not Prisons welcomes back the hot, hot, hot Benni E.!

current works include "social" conscious music (real hip hop), queer
based party music, and spoken word prose. Combining elements of hip
hop, jazz, R & B and world music, she brings the message of

community artists to promote social change through art. Some of her
prior performances were held at Poems Not Prisons, Medusa, and Tritone
