In celebration of Peter Tosh Day, the WorldBeat Cultural Center is holding a fundraiser concert for Haitian refugees, featuring Warrior King from Jamaica, Kush, and Layne Tadesse.
Currently there are about 6,000 Haitian refugees in Baja California and about 5,000 in the state of Chiapas, Mexico and it's known that there are more to come. Tijuana has about 14 shelters for migrants and deportees but they have exceeded capacity so many Haitians are sleeping in the street. Haitians and Africans are arriving to Tijuana in hopes of crossing to the US. Their wait could take weeks and your help is needed in a donation drive.
Donations could be:
Clean towels, blankets, clothes, baby clothes, sweaters, toiletries including toothbrushes and toothpaste etc.
Donations will be given to Madres y Familias Deportadas en Accion, a grassroots organization in Tijuana dedicated night and day to fighting for the human rights of migrants
Admission/Cost: $10
Location:
The WorldBeat Cultural Center
2100 Park Blvd,
San Diego, CA 92101
Friday, October 28 - 9:00 PM
