Stand Up For the First Amendment: Live music, comedy, history and distinguished guest speakers
“This idea came from wanting to do something, anything. To not feel powerless against the assault on our rights and institutions,” Joe Ragukas, a Tampa citizen, told Creative Loafing Tampa Bay.
His homegrown, grassroots, event finds the talent donating their time and includes solo concerts from Marc Garnacias and Henry Locke, plus comedy from Amanda Hoffman.
Tampa City Councilwoman Lynn Hurtak and Luis Salazar, President of the Hillsborough County LGBTQ Democratic Caucus, will also speak, along with historian Manny Leto who will discuss the history of the press in Tampa.
The Sunset Sundays DJs—which include past Creative Loafing Tampa Bay contributor Stephanie Powers, and guest cover artist Chris Preston—will spin in between sets.
Ragukas will split the proceeds with alternative press organizations including Creative Loafing Tampa Bay’s nascent Tampa Bay Journalism Project, community radio station WMNF, La Gaceta, Florida Sentinel Bulletin, and PBS affiliate WEDU.—Ray Roa
