What a month! For the past month we have been busy organizing the "Justice" part of The Justice Tour 2008 and have been traveling to cities across the country the past two weeks. Tom Morello (Rage Against the Machine & The Night Watchman) came up with the idea to produce a tour that would touch down in seven cities and, in conjunction with the concert, include a day of activism for all the musicians and help bring a spotlight to a different issue in each city. 100% of the ticket sales from the shows went to our partnering organizations. The tour took us through Los Angeles, NYC, New Orleans, Asheville, DC, Boston and wraps up in Chicago tonight. The issues included: bringing people home in New Orleans, solving homelessness in L.A., establishing a living wage in Asheville, working with Iraq veterans to end the Iraq War, health care and labor rights for all. It was easy to get overwhelmed by all that needs to be fixed in this country but it only took time with each org working on the ground to feel a little better and remember the value of their work and the vital role they play in securing justice for many Americans. The work that they do day in and day out leaves us all inspired.
