What should I wear to WAVES OF IMPACT?

The most important question, obvi. Let’s make it a BLUE PARTY, since it’s all about the waves. Think CRJ’s radio waves rocketing across the sky. Think the ripple effects of relationships and stories. Think the blue of the wintry holidays surrounding us as we gather. Think of the oceans of possibility for the next chapter of CRJ’s work. 🌊

So, wear your bluest of blue ‘fits! Layer blue on blue on blue. 🔵 🔵 🔵

Come as you are, of course! But if this inspiration motivates you, join us in the waves of fashion!

I want to bring someone else with me! Can I? 

The more the merrier! Please purchase your tickets, here. Every single dollar helps propel CRJ into 2026.

I’m formerly incarcerated - or someone I know is - and I/they want to come, but the ticket cost could be a hardship.

We’re glad to invite folks who are formerly incarcerated in our community to join us as our special guests, free of charge. In order to get on the list, please drop a quick email to team@radioforjustice.org
