Join us on Wednesday, August 27th at the Denver Coliseum unite with
Rage Against The Machine, The Coup, State Radio, Wayne Kramer, and
10,000 to call for an end to the occupation of Iraq.

With the eyes of the world on Denver, we have an opportunity to begin
embodying the America we would like to become. As Langston Hughes
said, “America never was America to me, and yet I swear this oath-
America will be!”

As well as selling over 225k records and having one of the fastest
rising new songs of 2008 (?Handlebars,? soaring to #1 audience on the
Alternative chart, and holding down the top spot on Los Angeles?
influential radio station KROQ for nearly three months running), this
is a band who do not shy away from what they believe. Flobots have
two non profit organizations: FightWithTools.org is a national street
team and a social networking site, with the goal of finding aspects
of their community in which they can get involved. They?ve also
created a larger issue through the site, which is voter registration.
Flobots have a goal to register 10,000 new voters by this year?s
election. Flobots.org is the parent organization, with several
community programs, such as music therapy workshops at the Denver
Children?s Home for youth who have experienced trauma.
