Mbizo Chirasha: The Persecuted Poet

Donation protected
Zimbabwean performance poet and blogger, Mbizo Chirasha, is in self-imposed exile from his country because of political intimidation and death threats. He talks about his ordeal here http://tuckmagazine.com/2017/02/13/government-zimbabwe-i-fear-my-life/

Mbizo needs your help to sustain himself as he applies for asylum in another country. Details of his actual location are being kept secret for his safety. 

He needs $5,000 for food, transportation, and shelter for about six months until he is granted asylum. Here is a video he sent me yesterday https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yl8zoLyJBw4

Your donation is an affirmation of the role of artists in the defense of truth and justice in this world. Here is Mbizo's chapbook, Letter To The President: http://www.tiktakti.co.il/catalog/mbizo=chirasha/poetry/mobile/index.html#p=23 

Thank you for your assistance.
