Announcing a new Ash
Grove Music Project:
Beyond November - Party with a Purpose
Beyond November, bringing together
an assortment of advocacy and social action organizations, will
produce an ongoing series of events to entertain, to inform
and to enthuse by tapping into the vast energy for positive
change sparked by the Obama campaign. The culmination this year
will be a large free two-day festival in Summer, 2009,
that will have entertainment on stage (artists such as Ben Harper,
Tom Morello, Michelle Shocked, Culture Clash, Laura Love, Paul
Krassner, Robyn Tyler, plus community artists and speakers),
and an area where health, housing and other service organizations
will provide direct counseling, referrals and aid to people
who need it, and visitors can learn about and join groups and/or
actions around these critical issues.
A series of community
shows will lead up to and follow this main event, with
our kickoff event, appropriately, happening this January 25th,
5 days after Barack Obama's inauguration.
