[dropcap size=big]S[/dropcap]ince President Trump’s inauguration, millions have taken the streets in protest of his agenda of war, racism and attacks on the poor. Even before he took office, people were looking for an outlet to express their anger and frustration with not only President Trump, but also the system that created Trump and gave people the choice between him and widely-hated war-monger Hillary Clinton. It was in this atmosphere that the ANSWER (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism) Coalition's Los Angeles chapter opened up its office for the community to come together and express their anger, frustration and art every last Sunday of the month.
This gave birth to the ANSWER-LA open mic series Feedback Sunday. ANSWER has been a key component of the anti-war movement in Los Angeles and is now offering a platform for visual art, poetry, song and all forms of expression to come together as one. Some of the artists who featured at Feedback Sunday include:
Feedback Sunday featured artists such as Féi Hernandez. Féi is a Trans Non-Binary, immigrant, poet and artists from Inglewood, California and a full-time 6th grade art teacher, spoken word instructor, reiki practitioner, tarot card reader, performing poet and artist, and VONA fellow. Féi was also featured in ‘Her Campus’ after performing at Feedback Sunday. Her Campus is the #1 new-media brand for the empowered college women. Later, Fei was also featured in ‘We are mitu’ (www.wearemitu.com) which is a home away from home for Latinos in the United States and inspires to create authentic, culturally relevant stories. (Link)
