This Tuesday at UCLA, students and community members will come together for the 3rd Annual Mighty Mic 2009 Human Rights Awareness Concert at UCLA, Benefit for Burma. Last year, this student-run non-profit concert raised over $20,000 for refugees of the genocide in Darfur. The concert is for UCLA students only (bring your Bruin card).
This year Mighty Mic will highlight the struggle for human rights in Burma, which has been under the rule of an oppressive military junta for 43 years. Come on out on this Tuesday, April 21 and learn about what's going on in Burma, and hear an eclectic mix of artists -- all in support of a worthy cause. Some details:
