Musicians For Change
America Coming Together (ACT) and MoveOn PAC are very proud to announce our partnership in a truly historic event.
The Vote for Change Tour (October 1-10) includes Bruce Springsteen and the E-Street Band, Bonnie Raitt, Dave Matthews Band, Dixie Chicks, Jackson Brown, John Mellencamp, Ben Harper, Kenny “Babyface” Edmonds, Pearl Jam, R.E.M and others.
Conceived by a loose coalition of musicians four months ago, Vote for Change is a multi-city, multi-artist tour that will include approximately 34 shows in 28 cities in 9 states over the course of one week. Tickets will go on sale to the public on Saturday, August 21st. All proceeds from ticket sales will benefit ACT’s work in the battleground states.
Artists Statement
VOTE FOR CHANGE is a loose coalition of musicians brought together by a single idea—the need to make a change in the direction of our country. We share a belief that this is the most important election of our lifetime. We are fighting for a government that is open, rational, just and progressive. And we intend to be heard.
We plan to do something never done before—to concentrate our energies in the states where the election is expected to be closest. We hope this commitment of time and effort by so many artists and our willingness to take our energy to so many parts of the country will help inspire our fellow citizens to take a hard look at what is at stake in this election, at the federal, state, and local level, and to get involved in trying to move our country in a truly compassionate and humane direction.
We have chosen to do these concerts with two organizations that we think are doing excellent work in motivating our fellow citizens to get involved in progressive politics. MoveOn PAC and its sister organization MoveOn.org have been on the cutting edge of raising issues of war and peace, social justice, media integrity, and honesty in government. MoveOn PAC will be the official presenter of this tour.
America Coming Together (ACT) has been doing tremendous work in registering and mobilizing voters to support progressive candidates at all levels of government. We are happy to announce that the financial proceeds of the tour will go to help them with their continuing efforts.
Most importantly, we wish to communicate our concerns to our fellow citizens and join with them in the effort to change the direction of our government towards one that will make our country as great as it can be.
