Screaming For The Silenced

We are trying to raise money to help benefit Darfur. We would love to see the wars and mass killings stop in Sudan. We want the children there to live to see the next year, without fear of the Janjaweed.

Pass it on: Flobots rock for social change!

District-wide K-12 LTS Program

Sperbs — Fri, 02 May 2008 17:47:40 -0500

Our town needs change... and it needs to come from the youth population. Proposed is a Learning Through Service (LTS) program that would work with all public schools K-12 (and any private / charter school that shows interest!) to execute community service projects that directly correlate to the curriculum students are learning!

Our students are extremely active, and this program would allow them a more upfront and creative way to be activists! For more on WH youth activism, check out our website: www.rockandlearn.org

As part of an outreach program with my school orchestra, we go to elementary schools that have 80% or more children on food plans, or are from lower income families and put on concerts for the students. Last year we had young artists from my school make masks to go with each song from Camille Saen-Sans Carnival of the Animals and kids from the elementary schools would come up and act out the animals during each song while we played.

Pancreatic Cancer Dance

spongedburrito — Fri, 21 Mar 2008 08:29:55 -0500

During my junior year in high school my friends and I decided to hold a benefit dance to raise money and awareness for Pancreatic Cancer, a usually fatal cancer. My friends father was recently diagonosed with this Cancer in the spring of the previous year. So we decided to help other victims by raising money to aid in the research of this cancer. We went to businesses all over our area to gain sponsorship money to help with our profits. Then we had to find a location. Our school told us we coudn't have it there, so we decided on the local skating rink.

Drug Awareness Empowerment Concert

musichope — Thu, 20 Mar 2008 19:52:24 -0500

The Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota is home to thousands of Lakota Indian people. Unfortunately, it is also home to a huge drug problem that effects everyone. Children and adults alike die from drug related causes everyday. I am apart of a small group of people here in Pine Ridge who are working towards bringing something positive to the reservation. The way that we hope to do this is through music. We would like support in putting on a drug awareness concert- free and open to everyone. We are planning to have positive messages, music, art and free food.
