Donations will benefit Music for Democracy&amp;#39;s aggressive GET OUT THE VOTE program for Obama and other down ballot Democrats.
&lt;br /&gt;
Our goal is to support Barack Obama and build awareness in key swing states. Proceeds from this event will help Democrats in the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives&amp;#39; take important seats in swing states from vulnerable Republicans.  
&lt;br /&gt;

Music for Democracy is a grassroots organization of musicians, industry professionals, politicians, and music fans united by the conviction that America needs a new kind of politics to move forward toward a more peaceful, economically robust, and environmentally sustainable future. Our goal is to support candidates for federal office and facilitate public awareness campaigns that advance the agenda of progressive musicians, their fans, and the music community at large. MFD connects both well-known politicians, musicians and young upstart bands with a nationwide network of peers and fans who are passionately engaged in the electoral process.&lt;br /&gt;

RSVP by ordering your tickets below.&lt;br /&gt;
