The Houston Committee for Youth and Non-Military Opportunities, Inc. is having its third annual jazz fundraiser on Sunday, September 2 at the Houston Mennonite Church.  We've had wonderful events the past two years, featuring some of Houston's most promising young jazz artists and raising funds to support our counter-recruitment work in Houston schools.

An evening of revolutionary culture to welcome back local volunteers of the New York  leg of the BAsics Bus Tour, and to raise funds for the next leg of the tour.

Hear the volunteers tell of their experiences, and enjoy performances by Sunni Patterson, Khalila K. Nice, and more.
