| Info: | Following the incredibly successful inauguration of the homegrown Music4Change charity event initiative this past August, the series of club nights in support of Oxfam Canada and the Make Poverty History campaign returns with a more ambitious sequel just in time for the busy party circuit this holiday season. The first edition at the Mercury Lounge attracted over 200 party-goers and in so doing raised both money and awareness for the meaningful humanitarian efforts undertaken by Oxfam and MPH here in Canada and abroad. The upcoming installment offers simultaneous events featuring live performance of jazz, spoken word and poetry as well as a pair of the hottest local DJs spinning upbeat tracks with an international flavour. Organizers have raised expectations for the event by expanding the scope of the evening as well as presenting this unique gathering in a larger venue. With momentum building rapidly and a more extensive publicity drive underway, Music4Change is poised to make a triumphant comeback and set a brand new standard for the National Capital Region’s vibrant social scene. Oxfam Canada is among twelve organizations worldwide that together form Oxfam International, an alliance working to tackle the root causes of poverty, inequality and social injustice. Founded in 1963 as a non-profit development group, Oxfam Canada has as its focus community programs in food security, health, nutrition and democratic development with a special emphasis on working with women. The Make Poverty History campaign is a worldwide effort calling for urgent and meaningful policy change from world bodies and leaders, specifically concerning more and better aid to the poorest nations, trade justice to coincide with human rights and environmental protection, debt cancellation for highly impoverished countries and ending the pandemic of HIV/AIDS. It is to these important ends that Music4Change aims to contribute. In establishing an event fresh in nature, organizers are confident that understanding of significant issues will grow among younger generations and those new to advocacy and activism. The objectives are altruistic, the atmosphere pleasurable and the attitude inviting. Great music for a great cause – come Party Against Poverty! Music4Change happens at Helsinki nightclub in the Byward Market on December 10th, 2005, 7-10pm.
