We are feeling the Bern on the Environment here in Colorado:
Here in Colorado, I laugh when I hear people refer to Boulder as the ‘People’s Republic of Boulder’ because it’s so ‘liberal’
In fact, Boulder is leading the way on a lot things, especially when it comes to the Environment.
Locally here, the Non-profit, Musical Activists Alliance is joining forces with
Knew rEvolution for their Earth Day Festival event that features musicians who are not merely entertainers, they are activists.
Here they are in their own words explaining the meaning of the Festival.
(me) What’s the Fund the Revolution event on April 23rd, 2016?
Jessica Borth of MAA
Its the announcement of 2 organizations that part of the StarWater Collective, Musical Activist Alliance and Knew rEvolution.
Musical Activist Alliance is a non — profit that focuses on empowering performers and production companies and anyone that involved in music or performances to use their voices on stage to promote positive public change.

(at) Knew rEvolution we focus on all the different aspects of Festival culture and visual arts, yoga, alternative spiritual practices, and we really try to bring those things to the people in a daily experience.
It’s about how Festival culture can be a map to the future and how we can take all of these elements of understanding, be it indigenous wisdom or perma-culture and all of these different aspects of life that we can integrate.
We will be able to move forward when all the cultures on this Planet come to the circle and are able to equally voice their opinions and their perspectives and we
can really have that global communication.
Matt summed up what many refer to the Hopi “One Tribe Prophecy” or “ Warriors of the Rainbow Prophecy”
"When the earth is ravaged and the animals are dying, a new tribe of people shall come unto the earth from many colors, classes, creeds and who by their actions and deeds shall make the earth green again. They will be known as the warriors of the rainbow." -- Old Native American Prophecy
A few years ago, before I had heard about this, I was watching aghast as our
‘Democratic’ leadership were selling us out here in Colorado on issues like Fracking and Fossil Fuel extraction, threatening our already precious water supply.
Now, looking at how all of these activists from all different parts of the World are coming together,
and how 21 youth activists along with Earth Guardians (who are comprised of under 18 activists) just won their pollution case against the US Government
I am feeling more hopeful that the World is changing very rapidly when it comes to saving our planet.
And we have a clear choice in the Presidential Race on this issue, Bernie Sanders has said he wants a National Ban on Fracking, and that Climate Change is our number one security threat.
More about MAA from the performer and founder of MAA, Xerephine:
Xerephine
We are going to get all the musicians in the MAA network together and we are going to teach them how to speak to an audience clearly and to try to inspire them to find an issue that they want to talk about.
Yes this is a big deal, because this Network of Activists working to save our Planet is growing and growing FAST.
