General Event Information
Global Activism Expo 2010
Saturday, April 17, 2010 @ NOON – 6:00 p.m.

Hosted by Worldview’s Jerome McDonnell, Chicago Public Radio Presents… is thrilled to again present this remarkable celebration – complete with food, music and over 100 Chicago-area Global Activists, all featured guests of Worldview’s Global Activism Series. On the air for seven years now, the Series continues to be inspirational, and bringing everyone together for this Expo has quickly become an annual event. 

Doors open at noon on Saturday and stay open until 6 pm; it’s FREE – so bring your classes, your children, your neighbors, your friends and family.

Last year over 3,500 people attended the Expo – this year we're expecting more!  We’re planning to again have a Performance Stage where the amazing talent associated with many of these organizations will be performing for you; there will be a variety of food for sale from local ethnic restaurants; we’ve arranged for break-out rooms where presentations will be made by various organizations throughout the day, so that you can better learn what they do and how you can get involved; and this year we're adding volunteer opportunities as part of the festivities so you can actually get involved right on the spot.
