www.axisofjustice.org We're proud to present the AXIS OF JUSTICE CONCERT SERIES VOLUME 1. The CD and accompanying DVD contain excerpts from our concerts this year, concerts held to raise awareness about important issues, raise money for the needy, and raise a righteous clamor for social justice. 50 years ago diverse artists like Leadbelly, Pete Seeger, and Woody Guthrie would share the stage to fight for civil rights, workers rights, human rights. Today a different generation of artists are stepping forward to do the same. Rebel music comes in all shapes and sizes. The Axis of Justice concerts have been a unique gathering of musicians of different musical backgrounds, but with similar points of view. Throughout history musicians have lent their talents to struggles for freedom and justice. Artists who play hip hop, punk, funk, rock, folk, metal and even country have used their guitars, their turntables and their lyrics to "fight the power". The Axis of Justice Concert Series began as a way to help defend striking LA grocery workers and has blossomed into an embodiment of our organization: conscious musicians, fans of music, and grassroots political organizations coming together to fight for social justice. The music we hear and the music we make help shape our culture and our lives. It has been an honor to stand on stage at these Axis of Justice concerts with artists who join us in trying to visualize a better world. As important as it is to vote for effective change, we must continue to question and confront the circumstances that bring us unrepresentative democracy, illicit war and economic injustice. To that end, all the proceeds from this CD and DVD will go to the Axis of Justice Foundation to help those in need and to continue to fund our efforts to stick it to the man. In Solidarity, Tom Morello and Serj Tankian |
