Concerts for Change (www.ConcertsforChange.org) is a grassroots group organizing benefit concerts across the nation to support John Kerry and other Democrats. Concerts for Change is the successor to Concerts for Kerry, a grassroots group that organized 41 concerts in 12 cities raising $207,000 from over 9000 concertgoers between April and the Democratic convention at the end of July.
Concerts for Change is partnered with Run Against Bush (www.RunAgainstBush.org). Both groups are campaigns of Running for Change, a political action committee that targets donor dollars to specific groups, such as the DNC, swing state Democratic committees, Democratic candidates for federal office in those states, and other groups that will help elect John Kerry in November. The concerts have attracted an array of talent including comedians Jack Black, David Cross and Sarah Silverman; jazz performers Savion Glover, Joshua Redman, Charlie Hunter, Dee Dee Bridgewater, and Brad Mehldau; indie rockers Ted Leo, The Capitol Years, Bishop Allen, and Pink Martini; and singer/song-writers Grant Lee Phillips, Duncan Sheik, David Berkeley and David Poe.
