Independent Journalism in Miami Needs You
We need to raise $10,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
There’s a time to every purpose under Heaven, and 7:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on September 16 is the moment for Miamians to take part in a simultaneous prayer for peace with earthlings in 250 communities throughout 50 countries. Earthdance’s mission is to make music and dance the channel through which people come together to empower the world’s most vulnerable. The multifaceted prayer focuses on issues such as urban youth, the environment, indigenous peoples, international relief and development, and alternatives to war. Miami’s lineup includes DJ Le Spam, Suenalo Sound System, and Agape. Nadia Harris’s first music video, “Peace = Solution,” a polemic about race and religion, will make an international debut just after the official prayer comes to a close. Miami will be among five Earthdance locations hosting a live broadcast of the ceremony. — Julienne Gage
