Our Cause:
This year, our focus will be Somalia. Somalia is suffering its worst  
drought in years, and the lack of rain and pastures is leaving  
families unable to cope with the loss of food and livelihood. Over 2.4  
million people are dependent on emergency humanitarian assistance as a  
result.
Drought and famine are only intensified by the two-decade long  
conflict that has left the country divided and made it very difficult  
for humanitarian aid to reach those in need. More than a million  
people have been forced to flee their homes as a result of this  
violence.

About Us:
Mighty Mic is a student-run organization at UCLA that works to spread  
awareness on campus and in the community about international human  
rights violations. Each year, we choose a different humanitarian issue  
to focus on, and we spend the year hosting educational events and  
planning our grand finale ? a concert in the spring that aims to  
combine art and music with education and activism. The Mighty Mic  
concert is a multi-media showcase of musical performances, speakers,  
and educational material, and attracts more than 2,000 attendees  
annually. All the money raised goes to a charity of our choice  
pertaining to the year?s issue. Mighty Mic is the largest benefit  
concert on campus, and is fast becoming a beloved UCLA tradition.
