Alas de Rio has launched a Kickstarter Campaign to raise the remaining funds needed to complete our documentary and participate in Rio+20. Please support our work and get a heartfelt token of our appreciation by becoming a Backer on Kickstarter
Come Out for a Night of Eco-Lectric Music in Support of Alas de Rio!
Thanks to support from friends of Alas de Rio, we are proud to announce a fun opportunity to support out project. Musician Kaioni will be donated proceeds from this Friday’s concert to the Alas de Rio Kickstarter campaign.
In the words of Kaioni:
“This is a great chance for outreach & communication about Alas de Rio – which I really feel passionate & empowered about. It’s inspiring to see youth utilize their power & work for sustainability, demanding government accountability over the real issues. These stories need to be heard at such a crucial time, especially on the road to Rio + 20. Let’s spread the word, encourage action, & help get the youth of Alas de Rio to Earth Summit 2012 (Rio + 20), where they can premiere this immensely significant documentary.
Let’s look to Alas de Rio as an example of what we can do: By creating change, we are using our power. Let’s stop giving it away to junk & distractions from environmental & social issues that connect us all. Help me fund Alas de Rio’s trip to Rio + 20 – on kickstarter!”

See you there!!
