BENEFIT CD The right for us all to drink clean water and breathe clean air in the face of industrial pollution and environmental degradation. The music is soulful and inspiring and comes from such great artists as BOB DYLAN, TOM WAITS, NORAH JONES, WILLIE NELSON, BONNIE RAITT, LOU REED, and a dozen others on tracks specifically donated to the cause. Although it is not a record that in any way preaches, the songs were all chosen to reflect a commitment to the well-being of our earth and its people, standing up for our rights and staying strong. Several artists featured on a new benefit CD called Where We Live - Stand For What You Stand On. 1. "Peace"- Norah Jones
Proceeds from the album will support Earthjustice's Where We Live campaign to promote clean air and water. Artists on the album include Ruben Blades, Los Lobos, Norah Jones, The Neville Brothers and Tom Waits. Earthjustice released a statement about the album: "the CD is a soulful collection of hard-to-find tracks that remind us about the importance of standing up for your rights, staying strong, and celebrating when ordinary citizens achieve victories in protecting the planet we live on." |

Drought, flood, malnutrition, disease among children and HIV/AIDS are all part of the complex crisis. Ethiopia is also one of the five poorest countries in the world, with an estimated gross national income of just $100 a year per person. The five-day UNICEF visit will begin in Addis Ababa on Tuesday 27 May. Geldof will see firsthand the challenges the country faces today, 20 years after he first visited Ethiopia and launched a world-wide campaign to save the East African nation from famine. Geldof's visit, facilitated by the UNICEF office in Ethiopia, will enable him to witness the current humanitarian crisis and explore the longer-term development challenges that are compounded by debt and trade disadvantages. He will visit UNICEF relief projects for children, speak with government officials and members of the diplomatic community, and meet with other key humanitarian players. More at: bobgeldof.info |

Singer/songwriter/activists Carole King and James Taylor joined Representatives Christopher Shays (R-CT) and Carolyn Maloney (D-NY), to reintroduce the Northern Rockies Ecosystem Protection Act (NREPA) in Washington, DC on March 5, 2003. For the first time in its 12-year history, the bill is rolling out with over 100 congressional cosponsors. King has been an advocate for NREPA for the past 12 years. NREPA will save taxpayers over $245 million in the next ten years and will create 2300 new jobs, which has caught the eye of both Republicans and Democrats. NREPA will protect the bioregion known as the Wild Rockies, spanning five states: Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana and Wyoming. This region is home to bison, elk, and grizzly bears that are losing land to roam on due to the subsidizing of logging companies. You can make a difference. Get involved in saving your environment.

A Concert For The People - South Africa The first list of artists for the Mandela SOS concert has been announced. Appearing at the February 2 event in South Africa are Dave Stewart of The Eurythmics, Queen, Yusuf Islam (formally known as Cat Stevens), Joe Strummer of The Clash, Bono, Baaba Maal, Macy Gray, Nelly Furtado, Jimmy Cliff, Deborah Cox, Ms. Dynamite, Shaggy, Eve, Ludacris, Angelique Kidjo, Yvonne Chaka Chaka, Johnny Clegg, Bongo Maffin, Vusi Mahlasela, and Femi Kuti. Additional artists are expected to be announced in coming weeks. A People's Concert will take place simultaneously at South Africa's Green Point Stadium, alongside the SOS concert at Robben Island - where Mandela was imprisoned for 27 years. The People's Concert will broadcast live footage from the Robben Island event with many artists performing on both stages. Nelson Mandela, host of the event, sent a cry of SOS to the world earlier this month, imploring a global community to address the HIV/AIDS crisis rampant in Africa. Africa has been hit harder by HIV/AIDS than any other region of the world with more than 17 million dead from the disease and another 28.1 million infected with HIV. Currently, there are 11 million AIDS orphans in Africa and experts say without urgent action there may be more than 25 million by the end of this decade. "HIV/AIDS is not only a health issue but has risen to become a human rights crisis," Mandela said. "I am asking each person in every country not to be silent witnesses to this devastation but to answer our SOS by raising both awareness and the vital funds necessary to fight and win against this disease." Tickets to the concert are free and will be distributed by competition or lottery, details of which will be announced. There will be live coverage of the event on mwww.mandelasos.com, as well as a global TV broadcast. |

- Washington DC
Ani DiFranco and Joe Henry Come Together for “An Evening of Music for Reproductive Freedom” Hosted by Gloria Steinem Proceeds from the Evening of Music will go to Voters for Choice Action Fund and the Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan (RAWA). Voters For Choice Action Fund trains and educates pro-choice candidates and elected officials across the country about the importance of reproductive choice. The Voters For Choice Action Fund defends the ongoing threats to our reproductive freedom on the Hill and in the White House. RAWA was established in Kabul, Afghanistan, in 1977 as an independent political/social organization of Afghan women fighting for human rights and for social justice in Afghanistan. Since the overthrow of the Soviet-installed puppet regime in 1992 the focus of RAWA’s political struggle has been against the fundamentalists’ and the ultra-fundamentalist Taliban’s criminal policies and atrocities against the people of Afghanistan in general and their incredibly ultra-male-chauvinistic and anti-woman orientation in particular. As Afghanistan finds itself strangled within the grip of religious fundamentalism of all shades, human rights across the nation are being grossly violated. RAWA’s hope is to see a government in Afghanistan based on democratic values and that ensures freedom of thought, religion and political expression while safeguarding women’s rights. |

MEEHAN EDUCATION FUND CHILDRENS BENEFIT CONCERT STARRING JIMMY TINGLE, DON HENLEY & DAVID CROSBY TSONGAS ARENA-LOWELL, MA WED DEC 5, 2001 7:30PM concert to aid terror victims' children By AUSTIN O'CONNOR Sun Staff LOWELL -- Dec. 5 at the Paul Tsongas Arena, a couple of legendary musicians will do what they can. Don Henley and David Crosby will headline the still-growing list of musicians and performers at the 5th Congressional District September 11th Children's Benefit Concert. Tickets to the 7:30 p.m. show will range in price from $35 to $100 and will go on sale at the Arena box office Monday, Nov. 12, at 10 a.m. After a two-hour presale at the venue, tickets will go on sale through all Ticketmaster outlets at noon. The appearances by ex-Eagles frontman Henley and Crosby should ensure that the night is a huge success, and Boston comedian Jimmy Tingle has already agreed to take part. Fifth District Rep. Martin Meehan, who became friendly with Henley through the singer's work to save Walden Woods, said he has been working on the details of the event for the past few weeks. More than 30 children in the 5th Congressional District lost a parent in the attacks, and the concert is a chance for the community to rally around the youngest victims of the tragedy, Meehan said. "We've all read the heartbreaking stories in the local papers about families in our communities that lost someone at the hands of the terrorists," said the Lowell Democrat. "This event is an opportunity for our community to let these local families know how much we care about them." Of course, it's also a chance for local music fans to enjoy an incredible night out. The list of notable musicians who plan to perform is expected to grow as various details of the engagement are ironed out. Meehan has set up a non-profit foundation to be chaired by Nikki Tsongas, widow of the late Sen. Paul Tsongas, to distribute the proceeds from the concert. All of the performers are donating their time, and several local businesses have signed on as sponsors, as has the city of Lowell. Meehan pledged that every dollar raised will be quickly distributed to the families, all of whom will be given free tickets to the concert. |

Performers included Bob Dylan, Billy Joel, B.B. King, Loretta Lynn, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty and many more.
