Dear Family;
Greetings! This is an urgent message to all the Nkiru Center family and supporters of ART AND CULTURE!
We just found out that the Center is about to close because of insufficent funds!
We NEED to SAVE NKIRU! The Nkiru bookstore has been servicing the larger Black/Latino community in New York City and other areas for years. When Talib Kweli and Mos Def of Black Star bought it from the original owners a few years ago, the store has doubled
its community programs - and has incorporated the now famous monthly "FOUNDATIONS" - a spot for on the
ground hip hop, spoken word and music. It has been a sacred space for people from all over the world (yes!)to come and build together! How can we lose this space?
For the next two weeks, Nkiru will be open DAILY in order to receive any donations from people who support the space and our mission! Please HELP!!!!
This is a complete grassroots, on the ground movement to save the space. Whatever you can donate, please come in to the Center and give what you can. You can also mail checks to the address below! Make checks payable to the Nkiru Center Our goal is to raise $10,000 within the next two weeks - this is the ONLY WAY WE WILL NOT LOSE THE SPACE!!!
This is an urgent plea - please pass this email onto friends, family and through the media to get this information out. This space has become a home for many of us, and so we cannot lose this space after years of building in this community.
