Tomorrow ONE Vote ‘08 is having their summer kick-off event in Des Moines with Jason Walsmith and Mike Butterworth of the Nadas.
“One.org is about aid and funding to relieve world hunger, poverty and AIDS. If our music can help even in a small way, then any amount of effort is well worth it.” - Mike Butterworth, lead singer and guitarist
To make global poverty a central issue in this year’s presidential election, we meet the candidates everywhere on the campaign trail and ask them tough questions about battling extreme poverty and global disease. The summer kick-off event is a celebration of our successful pre-caucus efforts and a look to our future during the general election season.
The event will feature an exhibition of photos from ONE Vote ‘08 all over the country, and world. Following the event there will be a free concert for ONE members by Jason Walsmith and Mike Butterworth of the band the Nadas.
If you live in the Des Moines area I hope you can join us! Wear your ONE shirt and bring your friends!
See you soon!
