Ryzden Clare - he is the young dub poet who made his breakthrough with 2005's 'Better Dayz.' He has been quiet since while he works on a new album. But now, he has taken a break from recording for something he says is much more important than music. Ryzden (Rizden) is organizing a candlelight vigil in memory of the mothers who have been killed as a result of domestic violence. It is scheduled for Saturday night and he dropped by our studios this morning to tell us more.
Ryzden Clare, Organizer
"I am hosting a candlelight vigil at the south side children's park and that is the park right next to the Civic and you can forget all the circus because we've been in a circus from day one with these gimmicks that have been going on so we need to bring it to an end. So anyone who is willing to come out and support, it will be greatly appreciated. It will be on Saturday and it will be from six until nine.
It definitely will be just a candlelight vigil and it will be next to the river and you could create your nice ornament and have it whereby it could float. Put the candle beside it and we will definitely have some individuals with canoes out there to remove them to keep the place looking nice afterwards.
The long and short of it is that if you are against violence then you will put yourself out there and represent. Who said that the father doesn't work on the Sabbath day? So come out and support if you have faith."
Again Saturday's vigil begins at 6 pm in park next to the City Center. It runs until 9 pm. The only thing you need to bring is a candle.
