2015 Rachel Corrie Foundation Annual Human Rights Day Celebration & Fundraiser
On Friday, December 11, the Rachel Corrie Foundation for Peace and Justice (RCF) hosts Rejoicing for Rights, an annual event to reflect on the year's struggles and to celebrate the pursuit of global human rights in response. The evening of music, dancing, food and drink is from 6:00-9:00 p.m. at the Abigail Stuart House, 1002 Washington Street SE, in Olympia.
The gathering will feature craft beer supplied by Bad Jimmy's Brewing Co. (Seattle) and delectable food from Olympia favorite All Fed Up Curbside Kitchen. Guests will dance to the music of Centaur Midwife, an electric quartet out of Ellensburg, Washington, that mixes folk and jazz. Tickets cost $35 and include heavy appetizers and your first two brews.
The annual Human Rights celebration and fundraiser supports RCF's ongoing grassroots efforts in pursuit of social and economic justice. Attendees will be invited to support the Foundation's many projects through the Giving Tree.
The Rachel Corrie Foundation is a grassroots, 501(c)3 non-profit organization that conducts and supports programs that foster connections between people, that build understanding, respect, and appreciation for differences, and that promote cooperation within and between local and global communities. RCF encourages and supports grassroots efforts in pursuit of human rights and social, economic, and environmental justice, pre-requisites for world peace. Continuing the work begun and envisioned by human rights observer and activist Rachel Corrie, who was killed in the Gaza Strip in 2003, RCF's current emphases are Israel/Palestine and the broader Middle East.
