David Rovics has been called the musical voice of the progressive movement in the United States. Democracy Now! host Amy Goodman has called him "the musical version of Democracy Now!" Since the mid-90's Rovics has spent most of his time on the road, playing hundreds of shows every year throughout North America, Europe, Latin America, the Middle East and Japan. He and his songs have been featured on national radio programs in the US, Canada, Britain, Ireland, Italy, Sweden, Denmark and elsewhere. He has shared the stage regularly with leading intellectuals (Noam Chomsky, Howard Zinn), activists (Medea Benjamin, Ralph Nader), politicians (Dennis Kucinich, George Galloway), musicians (Billy Bragg, the Indigo Girls), and celebrities (Martin Sheen, Susan Sarandon). He has performed at dozens of massive rallies throughout North America and Europe and at thousands of conferences, college campuses and folk clubs throughout the world. He has loads of MP3's available for free download on his website, www.davidrovics.com, along with CDs, links, etc. More importantly, he's really good. He will make you laugh, he will make you cry, and he will make the revolution irresistible.

Ventura County Committee to Stop the War is hosting a commemoration for all the war dead because one life destroyed for an illegal and immoral war is one too many, let alone 4,000 U.S. soldiers' lives or up to 1 million estimated Iraqi lives. We join the majority of U.S. public sentiment against the occupation of Iraq by calling for an immediate withdrawal of all U.S. and allied forces from Iraq and Afghanistan.
