Open the Cages Tour

On this week's episode of Progressive Voices, radical folk-punk musician Mike XVX speaks about the Open the Cages Tour, a travelling animal liberation festival combining music, art, film, education, and direct action. The documentary film Maximum Tolerated Dose is screened at each stop of the tour, examining vivisection as it has impacted the lives of both non-humans and humans in North America, in addition to musical performences, art displays, workshops for activists, and demonstrations at animal testing facilities.

The 2013 summer schedule for Open the Cages is available here: http://openthecagestour.com/2013-tour-schedule/

Progressive Voices airs Friday mornings at 9:00 a.m. on 93.3 CFMU Radio

Thank you for reading this story…

More people are reading rabble.ca than ever and unlike many news organizations, we have never put up a paywall – at rabble we’ve always believed in making our reporting and analysis free to all, while striving to make it sustainable as well. Media isn’t free to produce. rabble’s total budget is likely less than what big corporate media spend on photocopying (we kid you not!) and we do not have any major foundation, sponsor or angel investor. Our main supporters are people and organizations -- like you. This is why we need your help. You are what keep us sustainable.

rabble.ca has staked its existence on you. We live or die on community support -- your support! We get hundreds of thousands of visitors and we believe in them. We believe in you. We believe people will put in what they can for the greater good. We call that sustainable.

So what is the easy answer for us? Depend on a community of visitors who care passionately about media that amplifies the voices of people struggling for change and justice. It really is that simple. When the people who visit rabble care enough to contribute a bit then it works for everyone.

And so we’re asking you if you could make a donation, right now, to help us carry forward on our mission. Make a donation today.
