Never before has such a respected and powerful group of artists come together for a single concert tour. Hundreds of thousands of music fans will unite for a common cause -- ACT’s work mobilizing millions of voters to elect democrats in federal, state and local elections in 2004, and MoveOn PAC’s work to give ordinary people a voice in the electoral process.
The artists’ official statement reads:
“(We are) excited to annouce the Vote for Change concert tour. Vote for Change is a loose coalition of musicians brought together by a single idea -- the need to make a change in the direction of our country. We share a belief that this is the most important election of our lifetime. We are fighting for a government that is open, rational, just and progressive. And we intend to be heard.”
Tickets go on sale through Ticketmaster on August 21st. More details available here. http://www.act04.org/voteforchange
A limited number of pre-sale tickets are available from MoveOn PAC. http://www.moveonpac.org/vfc
By purchasing tickets to Vote for Change, you will be making a political contribution to ACT, subject to the limitations and restrictions of federal campaign laws. Contributions to ACT are not deductible for federal income tax purposes.
This is more than a concert tour; this is a call to action. Millions of concerned citizens and activists will be working for change in the days leading up to the November 2nd elections, but the hard work is already underway. Please don’t wait. Get involved in ACT’s work today.

This tour is an extraordinary example of Americans coming together to win this election and change the direction of the country. We are deeply grateful to the artists and their managers for creating this tour. I believe when the book is written about this election, the Vote for Change Tour will be given an important place in the victories of hundreds of Democrats in federal, state and local elections on November 2nd.
