Rock to Win
Join us to celebrate GLBT equality at the Democratic National Committee Convention! The Human Rights Campaign is sponsoring a DNCC premiere event, "Rock To Win," on Tuesday, Aug. 26, at the Fillmore Auditorium, 1510 Clarkson Street, Denver, featuring long-time friend and Oscar and Grammy-award winning artist Melissa Etheridge.
"Rock to Win" will also feature performances by Cyndi Lauper, Rufus Wainwright and Thelma Houston. This summer, Cyndi hit the road for the second annual True Colors Tour in partnership with the Human Rights Campaign. This year's tour emphasized the importance of voting and participating in 2008's historic elections. The concept of the tour was conceived by Cyndi stemming from her desire to give back to the GLBT community for the love and support they have given her throughout her career. Wainwright, who is openly gay, previously performed at HRC's landmark concert series and tour, "Equality Rocks." Houston has performed at many pride events and is a tireless advocate in the fight against HIV/AIDS. Other artists and special guests who will be in attendance at "Rock to Win" will be announced in the days to come.
"Rock to Win" is also an opportunity to educate delegates, convention attendees and the Denver community about the discrimination our community continues to face and the need for fair-minded leadership that will advance critical protections for our entire community, including federal hate crimes and employment discrimination laws, equal benefits and protections for same-sex couples and an end to the discriminatory "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy in our nation's military.
