The Coalition to Free Minneapolis Concert & Rally
Minneapolis, MN [08/24/2009] – A coalition of candidates for Minneapolis municipal offices, joined by many well-known local musicians and activists, is holding a free concert & rally this Sunday in downtown Minneapolis, to inform Minneapolis citizens of the problems in our city and the need to elect new leadership to Minneapolis government this November.
“The City of Minneapolis is a great city and my home for over 30 years” said Mayoral Candidate Papa John Kolstad, “but the city has significant problems that have not been addressed by the current mayor and city council, and as a result our residents and small businesses are hurting badly due to severe tax increases every year and aggressive inspection and regulation activities by the city.”
“I believe the city has been mismanaged,” he said, “and we need new leadership to solve the problems of our city. If we don’t make significant changes our city will continue to suffer more foreclosures and business closures. We need to take our city back!”
Musical acts will include Javier Trejo, Willie Murphy, Eskit’s Political Cabaret, Nikki & The Ruemates, Steve Kaul & The Brass Kings, and Papa John and His Hot Swing Band featuring John Devine.
Local issue activists groups like End The Fed and FairVote MN have also been invited to set up information tables and give short presentations about their causes.
The concert & rally is free of charge. A variety of food and beverages will be available to purchase all day.
