3CR is serving up a juicy menue of listening delights for you this Summer.

Nelson Mandela
We present a very special breakfast on the 25th December as we dig into the archives to bring you a unique address by Nelson Mandela to the Victorian trade union movement in 1990 at Melbourne Town Hall. Mandela had come to thank them for their solidarity work and for their support in bringing down the apartheid system in South Africa, and 3CR was there broadcasting live. Listen in Wednesday 25 December from 7am.

Human Rights Day is fast approaching! On Sunday 8 December, 3CR is holding a Human Rights public forum to increase awareness and build support for sovereignty and independence in Australia, Sri Lanka and West Papua.

Join 3CR for an evening of punk and protest on the big screen with Pussy Riot: A Punk Prayer. Five women wearing brightly coloured balaclavas rushed the altar of a Moscow Russian Orthodox Cathedral with microphones, speakers and a guitar and launched into a "punk prayer" in protest against Vladimir Putin's "excessive nationalism". Come to the 3CR film fundraiser and get the real story of what happened next.
