From Press Release –
“Today our dopamine inducing screens often leave us feeling damaged, saddened, sleepless and hopeless about the world and our ability to shape it for good or survive in it at all”…. “Machines that were designed ‘to bring us closer together’ end up dividing us from each other and ourselves from our souls” – Michael Franti
With the release of his powerful new video for “The System,” acclaimed musician and social activist Michael Franti launches a worldwide initiative to incorporate a host of vital causes into his upcoming Togetherness Tour by harnessing the power of music and community to drive positive change across various social and environmental fronts.
Known for his impassioned performances and unwavering commitment to social justice, Franti has long used his platform to advocate for meaningful causes. With the Togetherness Tour, he is taking this mission to new heights by collaborating with Propeller, a leading advocacy platform, along with select organizations from all over the world to amplify the impact of his message, including Do It For The Love, Last Prisoner Project, Bamboo Foundation, HeadCount, Everytown For Gun Safety, Moms Demand Action and Conscious Alliance.
Via the $1 a ticket program, every fan who buys a ticket to a Franti & Spearhead show will automatically be supporting Do It For The Love, a wish-granting nonprofit created by Franti and wife Sara 10 years ago that sends people with life threatening illness, wounded veterans or individuals with special needs to concerts worldwide. In addition, the organization and Franti have teamed up with Alltroo to give away an exclusive trip to the Franti’s five-star sound and wellness resort in Indonesia, Soulshine Bali. Fans can enter to win this fully funded trip by donating to Do It For The Love in any increment HERE.
Propeller has partnered with Franti to engage fans in advocacy efforts throughout the tour. Together, they will support Last Prisoner Project, a nonprofit organization dedicated to criminal justice reform, with a focus on securing the release and reentry of individuals incarcerated for cannabis offenses. Franti is an artist advisory member for LPP. Fans can text ‘FRANTI’ to 99126 to donate via the Propeller platform. Concert attendees who donate from the show will have a chance to win a signed setlist at each show. To kick start this campaign, the Activist Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded by Activist Artists Management, Franti’s management team, has agreed to match up to $10,000 donated.
