Arizona Activism
Van of Urantia and Global Community Communications Alliance are strong supporters of the Border Patrol Victims Network. We have participated in several border vigils in Nogales, AZ which are actually shared with people in Nogales, Sonora.
We also actively support Friends of the Santa Cruz River, and the indigenous rights movement through participation in Save Oak Flat and other events.
Van is the founder of KVAN Visionary Radio, broadcasting in Tucson AZ at 91.7 FM—and all over the world at KVAN.fm.
In addition to featuring musicians who have a message for positive global change, KVAN provides an outlet for alternative voices of the world.
Here are some of the activists who have been interviewed on KVAN. These interviews can be heard at https://www.mixcloud.com/KVAN_FM/
