Join us during October's AHA! night for an evening of protest with David Rovics, a songwriter, musician, writer, and podcaster based in Portland, Oregon. Since the 1990s, David has been touring regularly throughout North America, Europe, and occasionally elsewhere, playing on stages large and small, at protests and festivals as well as in squatted social centers and folk clubs. He is known for writing songs about the history of popular struggles and social movements, and for participating musically in contemporary social movements in many countries. He has recorded dozens of albums and has millions of his songs streamed every year. His writing and podcasting can be found on Substack and other platforms. David often performs solo, and even more often as a duo with Kamala Emanuel, from Brisbane, Australia. Together they call themselves the Ministry of Culture.
In addition to his musical involvement with the anticapitalist movement, labor, environmental, and antiwar movements internationally, David has been writing songs and singing at protests related to the Israeli occupation of Palestine since 2000. In 2005, he did a tour that included ten shows in the West Bank, along with shows in Lebanon and Jordan. He has also toured a bit in Japan, Hong Kong, and a variety of Latin American countries, and extensively in Australia, New Zealand, and much of Europe.
