Music is Bulletproof 10/2

It's time again for another Music is Bulletproof production. You can click on the images below to get larger versions with readable type, but I'll give a quick rundown.

Music is Bulletproof is dj music where the proceeds benefit the Victims of Violent Crime Compensation Fund. The suggested donation for the night of music is 5 dollars [but you could always give more]. In 2006 DJ Key-K was working as a bartender / server at the Argonaut. After leaving work he walked to his girlfriend's house. As he neared the house he was attacked and shot in the head. He was found unconscious and bleeding. After multiple surgeries he recovered, but he now has a partially synthetic skull, and he lost an eye. DJ Key-K is a Panamanian immigrant and following his injury he had difficulty obtaining a new VISA because of red tape. Because he had been the victim of a violent crime he sought a U VISA. Here's some info on the U VISA-

The U visa was created by the Victims of Trafficking and Violence Prevention Act, enacted in October 2000. It is available to noncitizens who 1) have suffered substantial physical or mental abuse resulting from a wide range of criminal activity, and 2) have been helpful, are being helpful or are likely to be helpful with the investigation or prosecution of the crime. The U visa provides eligible immigrants with authorized stay in the United States and employment authorization.
-from the Immigrant Legal Resource Center.

So, this year Music is Bulletproof is not only raising money for the victims, but also trying to raise awareness about the U VISA. Come on out for some great music that benefits a great cause.
