📻⚡ WATTZ UP! Season 30, Ep3: Downfall of the Human Race… again? ⚡📻

🎧🌎📉 Back in 2016 and 2020, we wondered if we were witnessing the downfall of the human race. Now, we have to ask that again in this latest edition of Wattz Up! Join the crew as they learn about and share what has been happening in our communities below another Trump administration.

Through interviews, informational reports, and personal experiences, we start to piece the world together. Irma brings student protests to light, Julia interviews a local mutual aid group, Kevin shares how funding cuts are affecting LGBTQ+ organizations, and Chantal talks with her sister about the events that happened in La Villita 2 weeks ago. But, it is not all doom and gloom! Layla will be sharing some good news, and Stephanie will walk us through mental health tips to get through another downfall.

📻⚡️WATZ UP ! Season 30 Episode 2: SONIC RESISTANCE⚡️📻

🎧✊🏾🎶 Music and activism have been intertwined for generations and have been used as a method in advocating for social change. Lyrics, sounds, and beats gave artists the tools they needed to authentically communicate complex issues, unite people through shared emotions and experiences, and give a voice to the marginalized.

Join the Wattz Up! crew as we dive into tackling activism in music. Join Edna as she dives into 2008 confrontations between Emos and Punks and Layla as she interviews Amira Jazeera about her debut album, The Amira Diaries, and bringing awareness to what’s happening in Palestine through her platform. Enjoy the chat with Julie about the use of artificial intelligence in the music industry, a piece from Gilbert about Latin American artists, and later Stephanie’s interview with the one and only Brian Herrera. Throughout the show, we’ll also spin a selection of tracks curated by Chantal and the rest of the team throughout the episode, so don’t miss out on this one 📡🎤🎼📻

What do all of these movies have in common?

They’re all movies based in different dystopian worlds. From suspense to adventure to action, those people were trying to survive in worlds where things were abnormal.
