Welcome to Cinco de Mayo St. Louis! Cherokee Street is once again happy to host the largest street celebration for Cinco de Mayo in St. Louis. This year's festival will feature the Rhythm Masters and Boogie Chyld on the main stage, authentic food and drinks from many of the delightful purveyors of fine Mexican cuisine that call Cherokee Street home, arts and crafts, corporate exhibitors, street entertainment, and parking shuttles. Come and be a part of the real St. Louis Cinco de Mayo where the celebration is about more than just a patio party.
The Gateway Greens will have a notary public @ CAMP to sign petitions to audit the City of St. Louis. Drop on by on your way to Cinco de Mayo down the street!
Also, Shangri-La Diner will be donating dinner to those who get over 50 signatures notarized during the Cinco de Mayo (Fifth of May) festival this Saturday. Even if you don't get 50 signatures, join us at Shangri-La Diner at 6 pm at 2201 Cherokee (at Missouri). The petition is for an audit of the City of St. Louis to find out where the Slay([search]) administration is spending lead poisoning prevention money.

Free School Design Session #2
Thursday May 10th , 7:00-9:00pm
3022 Cherokee St.
For months now there have been conversations swirling around the idea of instigating a “free school” at CAMP. The basic agreement that has sustained these conversations is that the system of education as it currently exists is not conducive to learning, with some of us asserting that it’s down right poisonous and needs to be abolished.
CAMP is open. Let’s begin:
Join us at a press conference to announce that Petitioners Near Goal for Audit of St. Louis City
3:00 pm, Friday, May 11, 2007
St. Louis City Hall, Tucker entrance
Petitioners now have over 7500 signatures calling for an audit of the City of St. Louis. Missouri statutes indicate that the number of signatures must equal 5% of those who voted in the most recent race for governor. That would be 7200 signatures. Spokesperson Willie Marshall says that Greens will continue to collect signatures because challenged petitions need more than the required number.

love to have the activists represent and get to know people from the scene at
