The milestone of this festival has been reached. 20 years of activism and a parade of artists and counter culture spoke persons have converge here through all these years. This one, though might be the last one. The organizers who are volunteers, said they don´t have enough money to keep it going without going corporate. In order to bring good acts they need to have money and it doesn´t come easily.
Rain or shine you will find tables with activists defending and promoting their issues like environment, the struggle of the Palestinian people, peace activists, etc. The main dish so to speak is the acclaimed write Naomi Klein who will be speaking at 545 at the main stage. Its a great opportunity to meet this author of books liks No Logo and the Shock Doctrine.
So come enjoy the music and inform yourself. Education and truth will set us free. The organizers said the non profit organization will go on so the activism will continue…
