This is amazing! We’re going to have stars from Hollywood, Bollywood, and Nollywood (Nigerian film) rallying with us across the street from the United Nations on September 25th. That’s the day George W. Bush and other world leaders will be inside the UN. Probably one of the most important days of the year.
Ok, here are the details. The rally will be held at Dag Hammarskjold Plaza in New York, at 47th and 1st. There will be lots of protests going on there at the same time, but ours will be one of the only ones with a sound permit, so you’ll probably hear us right away. We’ll be at the 1st Ave. Side of the park. We’ll start around 2PM.
The wonderful actor/comedian Tim Meadows is going to be there. He was my favorite on Saturday Night Live for 10 years, and then went on to do the movie “The Ladies’ Man.” He’s now starring in TBS’ “The Bill Engvall Show,” and will be coming out with a Columbia Pictures movie this December.
The amazingly talented Shabana Azmi is a superstar in India (I put a photo of her at the end of this post). Here in the US, many of us know her from her starring role in the movie, City of Joy with Patrick Swazye. She’s flying all the way here from India because she is impassioned about social justice issues, and believes deeply that in this day and age, absolutely nobody should be starving.
Hilda Dokubo, The unbelievable Nigerian movie star who has been with us for the past week, will also be there. You can read more about her in earlier posts. She’s made over 120 films, and just has blown everyone away– from seasoned diplomats to everyday New Yorkers.This is the first time stars have come from Hollywood, Bollywood, and Nollywood like this. More soon!!
