Power to the Peaceful 2006

It was a great event. The weather was chilly, but the turnout was huge and the vibes were good. Michael Franti & Spearhead were great as usual.

Speakers included Rabbi Michael Lerner, Wavy Gravy, a recorded Mumia Abu-Jamal, and Iraq Veterans Against the War.

Video clips:

Rabbi Michael Lerner proposes a new corporate social responsibility requirement. He later explained his homeland security proposal: to donate 5% of GDP to Third World countries so that they won't want to kill us any more.

Michael Franti & Spearhead: Yell Fire! (poor sound quality).

Michael Franti & Spearhead: Time to Go Home.

A crowd pan to show how huge the festival was.

At the Spearhead tent, I bought the new album. It is outstanding.
