Lokahi at South By Southwest

Lokahi is excited to be taking part in this years SXSW music festival. We’ll be in Austin all week, set up at events like the Industry of Music Showcase and a wide variety of other parties, showcases and public events. In order to get the message out and build support for the good stuff going on, however, we need to ‘get around’ even more – we’re hoping to be all over town during the big week, and need some help to make that happen!

Our goal for our time in Austin is to spread the word about the important work that our partner campaigns are engaged in, while also showing the music industry that music and good causes do in fact mix quite well! Lokahi was founded in part because of this history of activism in music– bands like the Clash and U2 are in part the reason we are the socially minded people we are today. It was our goal from our start to keep this spirit of activism alive and well in the music community, and we are excited to get the chance to act on this belief during SXSW!

Next week, we’ll be engaging people to take action with organizations like Oxfam America, Witness, and the ONE Campaign while also registering voters. We’d love to be set up at any and all parties and showcases, and likewise, if there isn’t space for our small set up, we’d also be very excited to just have some info literature available at your venue. We can be as low key or as big as you want, bringing very important social causes to your event in a way that blends well with the larger spirit of SXSW. We’ll help to promote your event in exchange for your hospitality, and remember, our whole deal is to take action, change the world, and do it with STYLE, so rest assured that our presence will be top notch!

PS: we’ll be in town from March 10th on, so we are also going to be at some of the Interactive and Film parties as well!
