September 24, on the Mall
This September, music has the potential to change the world! International recording stars Thievery Corporation will bring together several notable musical acts such as: Punk-rock bands Anti-Flag, Le Tigre, Bouncing Souls, Country music recording artist Steve Earle, Socially conscious Hip-Hop groups like The Coup, along with our own local Hip Hop legend and staunch progressive activist Head-Roc, Jello Biafra, Wayne Kramer of the MC5 and many others will unite on one stage for one cause! As Live Aid and Live 8 raised desperately needed funds and awareness for hunger and poverty, Operation Ceasefire intends to raise money for the fight against the misguided and immoral war and occupation of Iraq! Operation Ceasefire, with the help of Thievery Corporation, plans to produce a live CD and DVD of the concert. Proceeds from this free concert will be directed to co-sponsor United for Peace and Justice and local peace group, the D.C. Anti-War Network (DAWN).
