Just like at the Democratic convention last week, the RIAA will be hosting an event to celebrate ONE at the Republican convention tonight.

This time around the band DAUGHTRY will be playing and once again we’re expecting some influential members of the Party and media to attend.

We hope tonight’s event will build upon the work we’ve already done to bring the issue of global poverty to the forefront of this convention.
