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.

3CR would like to announce a timely and important new show to our grid - Refugee Radio. This new program aims to give asylum seekers and refugees a voice; a chance to speak out and let you know that they are just like us, people with hopes and aspirations, people who deserve to be treated as we would expect to be treated if, by the accident of birth, we found ourselves in their position. Refugee Radio is on air every Sunday at 10 - 10.30am on 3CR.

Tune in throughout NAIDOC week to 3CR to hear Beyond the Bars - Australia's only live prison broadcast. The broadcast involves over 100 Indigenous men, women and young people from the inside, sharing stories, songs, opinions and poems from within the Dame Phyllis Frost Centre, Barwon Prison, Fulham Correctional Centre, Marngoneet Correctional Centre, Loddon Prison and Port Phillip Prison.
