Funk for Peace Friday

The Chopteeth Afrofunk Big Band – with Working America staffer Robert Fox on bass -- hosts “Funk For Peace” this Friday, October 19th at The Rock And Roll Hotel. Two dollars of every ticket sold goes to the DC Chapter of Iraq Veterans Against the War (IVAW).  Veterans will be at the show to provide first-hand information from Iraq. “If we leave it up to the politicians, our troops in Iraq are never going to come home,” says Geoff Millard, IVAW DC Chapter President. “So we have to make it happen.  We have to take charge of our democracy and end the war. IVAW is not waiting for an election to end the war.”
