Bay Area musicians, educators, and spiritual and secular leaders will come together next week at San Francisco’s UN Plaza for the first-ever public eulogy to honor the tens of thousands of people who die around the world each day from poverty-related causes.

The event, which will take place on Oct. 8 starting at 7.30 pm, is being hosted by Honor the Dead — a non-partisan organisation that is dedicated to raising awareness of global poverty — in the attempt to inspire individuals to take action on international issues of inequality.
