General Event Information
Global Activism Expo
Wednesday, April 16, 2008 @ 6:00 p.m.

Five years ago, Chicago Public Radio's Worldview began a new series to showcase individuals working to improve the world through small-scale efforts, working to accomplish huge change with whatever resources they could, driven by remarkable stories of inspiration and passion for the task at hand.  Taking guest suggestions from Worldview listeners, the Series has never struggled— each Thursday, Worldview host, Jerome McDonnell, introduces listeners to another initiative driving the exchange of ideas and commodities among cultures and regions. 

...and now you can come meet these guests of Worldview's Global Activism Series, talk with them about their work, enjoy food and music and meet other Chicago Public Radio listeners and members from around the region.  Nearly 80 organizations have been invited to set up information tables and talk with you about their work.
