Global Citizen's Festival-A request from Carole King
I didn't watch the whole show carried on MSNBC. They put on a great show with a diverse audience and leaning 30 or under in Central Park. I did watch a new band, new to me, H.E.R. As the camera panned the audience, a large number was singing along while they performed. People like these give me some hope that "we are the change we are waiting for".
King took the mic after her set. She said, "I want your help calling your Senators and Congressmen. I've been working on saving the NW forests for 30 years." She wants legislation passed protecting these lands from logging and mining interests. "This land is our Land."
I'll make my calls on Monday. We hope you will consider action.
If we don't put some constraints on this administration they will put a for sale sign on public lands, and parks and lakes and mountains. Pollute our water sources or sell for a profit, It's suicide. imo

I'm lucky to have a Dem Rep and senators who listen to me.
We must protest this corrupt administration's usurping our public lands for their corporate business interests.
Btw, this fantastic concert can be found here:
Queen was exceptional.
