RODRIGUEZ for MAYOR Kickoff

Saturday, May 4th

Performances begin at 8PM

He has run before. In Detroit. Look him up on Wikipedia. Sign the petition this Saturday. His music is political. Rodriguez, though his art, unbeknownst, fueled an entire nation's people to be political. Present-day Detroit, is a city rising by the fuel of artists.

This event is hosted by members of The Committee to get Rodriguez on the Ballot for Detroit Mayor.

This event is the first in a series of events to promote and support the Rodriguez for Mayor campaign.

Live musical performances by: Invincible, Audra Kubat, Troy Gregory, Scum, Cold Men Young, Breezee One, Merlie Merle and the legendary Northern Soul artist Buddy Smith.

We will have a petition signature table as well as a campaign volunteer sign up table at the event, plus fun and art/music!

Detroit's finest teaming up for this important event:

*Our bodies are brilliant communicators when we learn to listen to what they're saying.

*Stretching feels OH SO AMAZING! It invigorates, balances, settles, and restores us back to WHOLENESS all at the same dang time!

*It can be hard to do alone, so hey! Let's choose easy and do it together.

In the outdoor gardens, weather permitting, otherwise the Brick Room.
