Tonight, Thursday, September 13, is beats beyond borders, a benefit concert for the Tennessee Immigrant & Refugee Rights Coalition, a statewide, immigrant and refugee-led collaboration whose mission is to empower immigrants and refugees throughout Tennessee to develop a unified voice, defend their rights, and create an atmosphere in which they are viewed as positive contributors to the state. Appearing at the benefit: Trio Ginga (Brazilian Roots), Seed & Soil (Reggae/Dancehall), Danny Salazar y trova urbana (Latino Roots).
Doors at the Rutledge, 410 4th Ave South, open at 7pm and the concert begins at 8pm. $10 cover goes to a good cause. Call 615.833.0384 for additional details.
The ‘Tennessee Immigrant & Refugee Rights Coalition?’
Is there a counter group called the ‘Tennessee Legal Immigrant & Refugee Rights Coalition?’ I oppose slavery so I’d support that second group in a heartbeat.
