The Asian/Pacific Islander American (APIA) will be holding it's second Volume Control, which is a fundraiser for APIA's Spoken Word & Poetry Summit. Volume Control 2 features performances galore by artists such as Proletariat Bronze, 
Aimee Suzara and Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha. The show will be held at Oakland's Eastside Cultural Center and it's co-sponsored by Youth Speaks, Apex Express and 94.1FM KPFA. After launching in Seattle in 2001, the APIA summit has grown into a three-day event that gives emerging writers and performers a platform while strengthening the APIA community.
