Brazilian Dance Party to Support Community Radio in Brazil!

Saturday night, June 16th, DJ Incredible Kid will spin a mix of music from Brazil, South America, and the Caribbean to help build a community radio station in Brazil’s Central West. Entrance is sliding scale $5-$15, and the dance party will be held at 311 North Ivy, from 9 PM to midnight.

The community radio station will reach over 1,000 families in five settlements and provide an opportunity for education, cultural work, entertainment, and communication for thousands of hardworking men, women, and children.

When doors open at 8:00 pm, local organizers will show a short film piece about the movement for land reform in Brazil, and talk about the radio project. Music and dancing will start at 9:00 pm.

The radio station is a project of Brazil’s Landless Movement, or MST (Movimento dos Trabalhadores Sem-Terra), a mass social movement that organizes poor rural workers to enact Brazil’s long-overdue land reform. The MST has been organizing for over 20 years to democratize land possession and fight for economic justice and dignity.

This event is co-sponsored by KBOO Community Radio, PCASC (Portland Central American Solidarity Committee), and Theater for a Change/Teatro por un Cambio. Please come, and bring checkbooks or cash to make a donation
toward the radio project and support the democratization of radio in rural Brazil.
