What is the Rolling Thunder Democracy Tour?
It's a county fair with guts. A revival with a reason. A concert with consciousness. A festival with funk and function. The Rolling Thunder Down-Home Democracy Tour reawakens a great American tradition of asserting the power of regular people to fight for their rights; throws in some enlightening education, soul-stirring music, mouth-watering food and drink; tops it off with a good jolt of Jim Hightower wit and wisdom, plus invigorating insight from firebrand speakers ranging from Jesse Jackson Jr. to Barbara Ehrenreich, and shazam! It creates a thunderstorm of motivated minds and bodies demanding our democracy back from the greedheads and boneheads who have taken it hostage. Oh, and most importantly, we intend to have one hell of a good time every step of the way back to true democracy.
Jim Hightower has teamed up with the numerous folks and groups listed on the back to bring this democracy organizing festival - a community gathering reminiscent of the Chautauquas of yore - to various towns across the United States. We'll work with groups who are yearning to solidify and strengthen the ties between community organizations and constituencies who share a bottom line - empowering people, but who focus on different issues. This tour aims to foster collaborative efforts that benefit us all, especially at the local level.
Consider bringing together a large and broad group of progressive constituencies (not just leaders) to spend a day or two in a sort of citizenship fair |
