The Poet Essence and Mother Judge at Women for Obama Night of Unity

Join MotherJudge and the poet Essence for a free evening of music and more to be followed by the Presidential debate between Barack Obama and John McCain.
'Women for Obama,' a group of diverse women from throughout the Capital District, will host a night of unity and support for Democratic Presidential candidate Barack Obama.

All are welcome!

Essence & MotherJudge will start off the evening at 6PM.  Folding Sky, Rumdummies, The Last Conspirators, and improvisional skits by Albany-based theatre group Wit & Will round out the evening, with remarks by some of the Capital Region's prominent female Obama supporters.

In addition to enjoying an evening of free musical entertainment, poetry and theatre, attendees will have the opportunity to learn more about Obama's strong commitment to a variety of issues of deep importance to women as the 2008 presidential election draws near.  Stay to watch the Presidential debate that evening between Obama and Republican candidate John McCain on the Public House's large screen television.
