Tuesday, July 20, 2004INVOLVERI just received the following e-mail about a new initiative called INVOLVER, which I've decided to pass along:
"INVOLVER is an alliance between The Knitting Factory, Music for America, various facets of the independent arts and entertainment community and a wide range of youth political organizations who are pissed off about the state of our country and who are taking action to change it. For our part we are following through with our commitment to presenting the best in live music and have begun staging a series of shows at The Knitting Factory in NYC, and in L.A. featuring such compelling & exciting acts as Slick Rick, OK Go, Pedro the Lion, and Matthew Dear to name a few. Additionally, comedian David Cross we will be hosting an all-star event of music and comedy at one of NYC's grandest venues The Beacon Theatre during the Republican National Convention in New York. Music for America will be on hand at each event providing information on voter registration, and offering ways to take action that will make a difference and make the country work for us. But this isnt just about NYC & LA; this is an organic, ever-growing movement that takes in the entire nation... "In the 2000 election, 17 states were decided by less than 7 percent, and of course, Florida was decided by only 537 votes. These swing states will decide the election -- FL, PA, OH, NM, WI, IA, OR, NH, MN, MO, NV, TN, ME, MI, AK, WV, AZ.
"We want to list great events happening in swing states. If you are an artist, organizer or presenter in a swing state, send info to INVOLVER... "INVOLVER does not endorse candidates or parties. We believe the country is headed in the wrong direction and offer ways that you can get involved and help make the country work for our generation." Comments (1) |
