 The National Campaign to End Corporate Personhood and Demand Democracy! Move to Amend

   About | Donate | Get Involved

Dear Ed,

This week, Move to Amend and more than 60 organizations representing millions of activists around the country are working to harness the grassroots power of the vast majority of Americans who believe corporations have too much power.

For the second anniversary of the Citizens United Supreme Court ruling, thousands of Americans will come together in mass protest against corporate rule in this country.

On Friday, 130 cities (and still counting) are holding rallies to participate in Occupy the Courts - a one-day protest at federal courthouses across the United States - including the US Supreme Court. Please watch and then share our video call to action and join an Occupy the Courts action near you. Many events will take place across the country on Saturday as well.

We will stand up for the rights of human beings over corporations. We will stand up for democracy and a government of the people, by the people, for the people. And we will show that the Movement to Amend is growing in size and commitment and that we will make real the promise of American democracy.

Please join us!
Ben Manski, David Cobb, George Friday, Jerome Scott, Kaitlin Sopoci-Belknap, Laura Bonham, Lisa Graves, and Nancy Price

Happy New Year Yuko!

I'm blessed to be starting another year with the wonderful women of ADAAWE. I'm still doing my own music, and more to come on that! But first, I'd love to share our performance in the L.A. Holiday Celebration at the Music Center's Dorothy Chandler Pavillion on Christmas Eve. If you didn't see it live on KCET, here's a clip.

Next Friday, you don't wanna miss a rare full concert evening at the fabulous Skirball, with special guests on guitar, bass, keyboard and percussion - dancers too! Get ready to get your groove on.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM

The dynamic and diverse all-women percussion ensemble Adaawe creates uplifting music based on the West African djembe drum and voice.

Their energetic fusion of African rhythms, R&B/pop vocals, arresting Gospel harmonies, and original songs always brings audiences to their feet. Their poetic lyrics embody messages of empowerment, healing, love, and peace. Through creative improvisation, they breathe new life into ancient music based on Ghanaian tradition.

“Invigorating.”—BBC Radio, Scotland

Arrive early and view the exhibition—Women Hold Up Half the Sky will remain open until 8:00 p.m. Program ticket/holders gain free gallery admission!

Peace,
