The 5th Annual Global Activism Expo April 28, 2012

Chicago Public Media (WBEZ 91.5 FM) is thrilled to present the 5th Annual “Global Activism Expo” as part of the 2011-2012 “Off-Air Event Series.” This event is free to the public and brings together hundreds of Chicago-area activists. The “Global Activism Expo” is the only event of its kind and is a remarkable opportunity to meet local activists in-person and learn about their organizations. The organizations, all of which have been featured on the Worldview series, represent work taking place in more than 100 countries. The services they provide range from teaching neonatal resuscitation in Tanzania to building libraries in Haiti, from assisting survivors of sexual violence in the Congo to helping victims of human trafficking in Vietnam, and more.

In addition to learning about these incredible organizations, event attendees also have the unique opportunity to shop for interesting fair-trade jewelry and apparel, enjoy great food and music, and mingle with other enthusiasts!
