WMNF is presenting an exciting new fundraiser aptly coined The Free Speech Zone and the timing couldn’t be better! The WMNF Development Committee is presenting this lively event---envisioned as a celebration of the right to individual and collective freedom of expression. The Free Speech Zone will take place Saturday, August 18, 2012 at the David A. Straz Center for the Performing Arts in Tampa from 7:00-10:00 pm. Jim Hightower is the headline speaker.
The night will include:
• Opportunity for verbal and visual expression through dress, music and other activities • Top notch entertainment • Live music and WMNF DJs • Live and Silent Auctions • Tapas and Dessert • Full Cash Bar
As our station Values Statement clearly notes, WMNF advocates for peace, social and environmental justice through independent media and programming neglected by the mainstream. We embrace diversity, tolerance of others’ opinions and freedom of expression. WMNF celebrates and promotes the creative, cultural and political vitality of the local community. We expect this event will emphatically demonstrate our stronghold in these essential beliefs.
