Atlanta:

Steve Earle, a great and long time supporter is coming to your area!  Dates, cities, & venues below.

RN'R can have 2 to 3 volunteers
Volunteers arrive ~ 1 hour before doors open to the public to set up the table (table is provided by the venue)
That staff the table and collect signatures on actions
Volunteers are required to do simple follow up and follow through after the concert.
I need full names, email address, and phone # of each volunteer in order to sign them up,

Spots are filled on a first-come first-served basis,
Transportation and parking are on you own.

If you can volunteer, send me (Angie) and email (or simply "Reply" to this one), with the date, city, and tour
I must have the full name (that means first and last) of each volunteer and their email address.
More details will go to the volunteers about 10 days before their concert dates, along w/ common actions we all use on the tour to have a stronger voice.  There will be room to add an action of your own.

If you are not available, please forward this on to other responsible and reliable persons you know who may be able to help.

HOW: 
RN'R teams with artists, managers, film-makers, promoters, venues during public and performance events (like concerts).   We activate a global network of local activists and fans to impact change for a healthy planet and civil, human, & workers' rights issues.  Using concert events, RN'R promotes awareness, education and action.
WHAT:

RN'R features actions for a healthy planet and on civil, human, & workers' rights issues.  RN'R features actions performers support, and unites performers, artists, and film-makers to a global network of local activists and fans to impact change.
