MAY 22 @ Volume in Daimyo

On May 22nd, Amnesty International Fukuoka English Language Group will host an awareness raising event at Volume, a bar in Daimyo.

Supporting these efforts are a worldwide mix of musicians and music including a NPO Tiempo Iberoamericano flamenco guitarist, Luciano Cámara, from Brazil, guitar/violin duet Tim and Freya, digeridoo maestro Makoto, and some good ol' rock and roll courtesy of local heroes, The Cigavettes.

Everyone will have the chance to take part in multi-media actions for change, and videos of Amnesty's human rights work worldwide will also be screened.

Entry is 500yen (includes one drink!)
Donations in support of Amnesty International will be gratefully received.

Make change happen. Stand with Amnesty and exercise your power to stop grave human rights violations.
