Peace and War in the Heartland - Music & Youth

One of the basic needs for organizing youth on high school and college campuses is music.

This is not surprising if you think of how music was the medium of consciousness raising in the Sixties.

Jim Forrey of Substance is an organizer you should contact if you want to attract young people to your events.

Substance "RNC Fest"

"Bring Substance to the Republican National Convention" Fund-raising Campaign.
As thousands converge on St. Paul for the RNC this September, Substance will be providing the space, motivation, and draw for constructive discourse. The "RNC Fest" will consist of a large concert as the focus, featuring national and local artists, a wide-array of political/social justice organizations from all over the left spectrum, art galleries, open mics, and simply space for political expression. The "RNC Fest" is sure to draw in many demonstrators that will already be in St. Paul, as well as many other people who usually would not come out. Though left-leaning, the "RNC Fest" is a nonpartisan event.

It will be free and open to all.
September 2nd, 2008
Outdoor venue (TBA), St. Paul, MN
