SOCIAL ACTION STATION

It's perhaps more important now than ever before to take a stand in what we believe in. And we at CRASHfest believe that immigrants make a positive impact on our country. So World Music/CRASHarts has partnered with Project Citizenship in a letter writing campaign directed at the Director of United States Citizenship and Immigration Services to make our voices heard. Stop by the station to make sure your voice is heard too. Write a letter, and we'll mail it off for you. It may be a small step towards equality, but as Dr. Martin Luther King wrote, “If you can’t fly then run, if you can’t run then walk, if you can’t walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.” Do your part.
