EDUCATE, DON'T INCARCERATE"
   Michael Franti and Spearhead top the list of musicians, poets, speakers,
and
   other socially conscious artists who will perform for free at the
second-annual
   open-air festival to raise public awareness of abuses and injustices in
America's
   criminal justice system.

   Dubbed 911.2000, the free concert and festival will take place Saturday,
   September 16, 2000, at Dolores Park, a 13-acre park bordering San
Francisco's
   Mission and Castro districts. With last year's inaugural event attracting
a crowd
   of 6,000, organizers hope to double that number this year.

   This year, the grassroots festival's focus will be on achieving a
moratorium on
   the death penalty and on reigning in the country's growing prison
industrial
   complex, which spends millions of taxpayer's dollars to incarcerate
rather than
   educate citizens of this country. It will also address the racial,
social, and
   economic inequities that pervade the criminal justice system while
seeking an
   end to the developing for-profit prison industry.

   In addition to Spearhead, 911.2000's live music will be provided by the
   jazz/funk/hip-hop group Legend Of Phoenix, led by Tre', formerly of
Pharcyde;
   and other performers to be announced.

   A DJ tent will keep the music pumping, featuring Lorin of 13
   moontribe/amorphous musik collective, a worldwide group of DJs and
   promoters. Also appearing will be Polywog, and The Peace Force Sound
   System, which provided the soundtrack for the World Trade Organization
   protests in Seattle.

   Speakers scheduled include so far include Pam Africa of Philadelphia's
MOVE
   organization and Ramona Africa, MOVE'S minister of communication.

   911.2000 will also include an art tower, a meditation booth, artwork by
world
   renowned artist Rigo, graffiti artists exhibiting their skills live, and
booths
   representing more than 50 organizations. Also on hand will be the "Wall
of
   Stolen Lives" a Vietnam Memorial-type tribute sponsored by the October22
   Coalition that lists people killed by law enforcement.
