WE’RE BACK AGAIN! WKDU is gearing up for our annual Electronic Music Marathon fundraiser, bringing 84 hours of nonstop DJ sets to your airwaves October 10th through 13th. If you're unfamiliar, the EMM is our annual fundraiser for a Philadelphia non-profit of our choice, where we invite DJs from around the city and beyond to visit the station, play music, and help us fundraise in support of our local community. DJ signups are officially OPEN, so if you’re interested in contributing to 84 hours of electronic music and assisting those in need, go to https://emm.wkdu.org/registration/new! Join us in making this EMM the best yet!
This year, we're focusing on supporting those at risk due to the current state of immigration policy by partnering with Vamos Juntos. Founded in 2002, Vamos Juntos has taken an active role in the development of immigration-focused community organizing and education as well as grassroots initiatives to directly aid Philadelphians in protecting themselves and supporting their friends and family. Through their work informing residents citywide about their rights and providing helpful resources for all ages, the organization seeks to alleviate the inhumane conditions often faced by members of communities all over the city. By supporting Vamos Juntos, we hope to strengthen communities and strengthen the framework that those at risk can depend on.
