Join Indie Rock band “Es Oh” on the south lawn of the Shepard Broad Law Center on April 6, for a benefit concert to raise funds to end hate crimes. Sponsored by Nova’s LAMBDA United chapter, the event is free and open to the public; food will be served in exchange for donations for the cause.
Es Oh will be joined by John Adornato Oakland Park City Commissioner, who will speak about his experiences with hate crimes and the effects they have on individuals and the community at large. Judge Lisa Porter, Broward County 17th Judicial Circuit will also be in attendance.
The event will take place from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Learn more about the band here: http://www.ourstage.com/profile/esoh
“We can all help reduce the number of hate crimes by speaking out against these heinous acts and educating people in our sphere of influence,” said Martavis T. Clarke, J.D. Candidate, 2012, vice-president & treasurer of the Shepard Broad Law Center’s LAMBDA United chapter. “We hope that this venue will provide an opportunity to shed more light on this issue, bring our community closer together and unite against hate crimes. Even one death as a result of hate crimes is too many.”
LAMBDA United is committed to educating the public on hate crimes with the hope of ending the abuse. If rumors can be dispelled and the ignorance eradicated the discrimination can cease to exist. The proceeds from the event will be given to the national organization, Fight Out Loud: http://www.fightoutloud.org
