This is a how-to guide to organizing cultural events that support social justice movement building. Featuring sample budgets, organizing plans, event plans, as well as media & outreach documents, this is a first stop for cultural organizing. Based upon a successful series of post-Katrina New Orleans cultural organizing events called Blowout Consciousness, this guide is a tool kit for anyone hoping to link culture, art, and politics to raise consciousness, build community, and support grassroots organizing. Additionally, this tool kit and how-to manual shows how to use local culture to empower local youth to make change in their communities.
