emma's revolution uses the power of music to promote peace and justice, LGBT, human rights, labor, women, and environmental issues. They are doing a series of concerts across the state in honor and celebration of efforts against Amendment One. emma’s revolution’s songs have been sung for the Dalai Lama, praised by Pete Seeger, recorded by Holly Near and featured on NPR's All Things Considered. They have performed across the globe from Alaska to South Korea.
emma's revolution's song, "This Love", was selected for the "Standing on the Side of Love" Maryland Interfaith Leader's campaign video to support marriage equality. A copy was distributed to every senator and delegate in the Maryland legislature.
Joining them will be Lee Storrow, recently elected member of the Chapel Hill City Council who will make a few comments about Amendment One.
Amendment One will be voted on by all NC registered voters on May 8th or in early voting. If passed, this Amendment would deny legal and medical rights to the 220,000 couples in civil unions in NC. 80% of these couples are heterosexual and 20% are gay. Polls show that the general population of the state is against the amendment but of likely voters it has a chance to pass. To stop writing in discrimination and inequality into the NC Constitution, we need to have a strong progressive voter turn out - in early voting which starts on April 19 through to the election day on May 8th. The Community Church is helping to coordinate phone banking five nights a week. For more information on how to get involved check out the website for Protect All NC Families and that of the Community Church of Chapel Hill.
Tickets will be sold for $15 online at www.emmasrevolution.com and at the Community Church, or at the door for $18.
