Coretta Scott King said it best when she proclaimed, "Peter, Paul and Mary are not only three of the greatest folk artists ever, but also three of the performing arts' most outstanding champions of social justice and peace. They have lent their time and talents to the Civil Rights Movement, labor struggles, and countless campaigns for human rights for decades, and their compassion and commitment remain as strong as their extraordinary artistry."
When the actions of Tim DeChristopher came to his attention, Peter Yarrow’s support was automatic. Tim’s disruption of a December 2008 BLM auction to protect sensitive lands from destruction and pollution led to federal charges, a very public trial, and a 2-year prison sentence. Tim is nearly ten months into his sentence now but support for his actions remains as strong as ever. Peter Yarrow has been a rallying voice for Tim and social justice advocates everywhere and he continues that generous tradition on Monday, May 14th, 2012, at the State Room in Salt Lake City. Please come to ensure that this circle of determination to protect justice and human rights remains unbroken. This will be a very special evening!
Peter Yarrow of Peter Paul and Mary LOVES activists and he loves Peaceful Uprising. Peter is throwing this concert to help Peaceful Uprising raise funds and keep on organizing. All money raised goes to benefit Peaceful Uprising which is badly in need of support right now and any support you can lend would be greatly appreciated.
RSVP for Monday, May 14 6-9pm at The State Room with a donation of $60 or more.
***Buy your tickets in advance. There are a LIMITED number of seats.***
Bring your checkbooks and bring your cameras. There will be items for auction and you will have the chance to meet Peter.
“Passive hope is about waiting for external agencies to bring about what we desire. Active hope is about becoming active participants in bringing about what we hope for. ... Rather than weighing our chances and proceeding only when we feel hopeful, we focus on our intention and let it be our guide.” – Joanna Macy
