In More Detail: The line up will include:

(A) Musical Performance by Bad Heart Bull

Bad Heart Bull is Joseph Letke and Rebecca Riley. Our work is
dedicated to, and highly influenced by, the insurrectionary vision of
folks like Sarah Bad Heart Bull who struggle against the powers of
oppression and colonization for the dignity, humanity, and autonomy of
all peoples. Our songs deal with radical political content, ranging
from self-empowerment to dismantling oppressive power structures.

“And, lyrically speaking, Bad Heart Bull draws as much influence from
Minor Threat as they do from Pete Seeger. Call it riot country or riot
gospel, this is folk music that might actually kill fascists. Radical
in every sense.”

(B) Spoken Word by artists Brando & Otter

Brando and Otter write and perform incendiary spoken word. Passionate,
articulate, riotous, these artists currently live and work in Chicago.
They are coming on tour to help with the very important project of
cultural change through artistic expression, as well as to travel and
learn more about nuclear weapons and power.

“I like walking around, night, strange people, doing things that don’t
happen very often, deprivation, writing, yelling poetry, political
frustration, conflict, the idea of escape, dedication, writing,
cranes, rice and work boots. But it’s not that simple.”

(C) Puppet Show “Dr Lab’s Nuclear Adventure:”

This original puppet theatre is about the human and environmental
costs of nuclear weapons and power. Dr. Lab, a nuclear scientist, goes
on a transformative journey through “The Nature” where he meets
creatures affected by the front and back ends of the nuclear industry.
