OZOMATLI TO PERFORM A SPECIAL BENEFIT TO “SAVE ETHNIC STUDIES” – FEBRUARY 18th AT RIALTO THEATRE IN TUCSON, AZ

Celebrated LA based culture mashers Ozomatli will be performing a special benefit show on February 18th at the Rialto Theatre in Tucson to help raise money and support the Acosta plaintiffs of Save Ethnic Studies. The Acosta plaintiffs are teachers of various Mexican American Studies classes in the Tucson Unified School District who are involved in a lawsuit, and as Ozo singer / guitarist Raul Pacheco asserts, “Ozomatli fully support their cause, and we will be donating funds based on the Acosta plaintiffs need for fair legal representation.”

Ozomatli encourages anyone seeking more information on this issue to visit http://saveethnicstudies.org to understand their cause and, if so inclined, to donate to the Acosta plaintiffs need for fair legal representation.

Pacheco says, “playing in Arizona is not a simple thing if you are trying to respect the various methods of activism that exist in support of fair policies on immigration, education, and its political and legal systems. This is why Ozomatli has decided to play in Arizona only when we align ourselves with worthy causes and donate, promote and support to these causes and the organizations that represent them.”

Raul adds, “Ozomatli hope you support Save Ethnic Studies!”
