Tagging Along With the Indigo Girls
I just spent about two weeks on the road with the Indigo Girls. We are very excited to include them among the many artists currently supporting the ONE Campaign!
It’s always great to talk to so many supportive fans each night and to learn about the amazing things people are doing in their communities to make the ONE Campaign’s goals a reality.
One of my favorite conversations from the tour was with a woman named Helen, from Ventura, CA. Helen came up to our ONE table to thank us for our work and to tell us about her experiences working on civil rights campaigns during the 1960′s (during which time she met JFK!) She talked to us about the connections she sees between what they were doing then with what ONE is doing now.
A big thanks to the Indigo Girls for letting us tag along on their tour and for offering their support of ONE from the stage each night!
Remember, if you’d like to join us for these types of events, be sure to check out the ‘Take Action’ section at one.org!

I just caught wind of an event that just happened last night in DC. This “Pray for Peace” included performances by Graham Nash, David Crosby, Jackson Browne, and others. A local radio station has pics, video and audio from the event. Check it out at http://www.idigbig.com.
