Please help get a Twin Cities artist and activist out of jail!

Our friend, Raymond Merchant, aka AC, father of two, Hip Hop artist, and
community organizer in Minneapolis was recently wrongly arrested in
relation to a robbery in South Minneapolis to which he was no party.
Missing for several days, friends became worried when Raymond failed to
arrive to a show he was scheduled to perform at. After contacting his
family, it was confirmed he had been abducted by police just blocks from
his home while out for a walk.

Upside Down (Patas Arriba)

Music & Theater

Somewhere in a university basement bunker, a free market economics professor is hiding out. As he remembers better days and his mind begins to unravel, he is haunted by the ghosts of the people his neo-liberal policies have exploited and the worldwide destruction his ideas have caused. With humor, political satire, song and dance, a cast of 5 actors, and live music by the Pachamama Band, Upside Down (Patas Arriba), explores issues of human rights, justice, and democracy in the context of globalization.
