The Roots

President Obama has enlisted a little help from some of his soulful friends to energize attendants to his ‘Moving America Forward Rally’ on October 10 in Philadelphia. The Roots will be performing at the rally, looks like they’re back on the stump because the group also participated in Obama’s 2008 campaign.

President Obama will be speaking at Bowie State University this week along with Maryland Governor Martin O’Malley and Senator Barbara Mikulski. Where’s our concert President O?

Little old Robert Fulton Elementary will witness a whole lot of soul on October 10th, lucky them. If we’re lucky we’ll get some balloon’s and campaign music. Sigh.

The Climate Rally

The Earth Day Network and other partner organizations have galvanized their efforts to bring a huge climate rally to the National Mall. They’re demanding that Congress enact more climate and clean energy legislation!

John Legend to perform at The Climate Rally

This Sunday, April 25th from 11AM – 7PM A-List acts will perform in support of the motion! The concert is free folks so be sure to RSVP, I’ll be there! Performances include Sting, John Legend, The Roots, Q-Tip and more. Rev. Jesse Jackson will hit the stage, I guess to talk about climate change (since this is an issue he’s um, always cared about…lol?!?) and Avatar director James Cameron is coming as well.

Earth Day Network is sponsoring free buses from New York City, Philadephia, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Columbus, Charleston WV, Richmond, Charlottesville, and Baltimore.
