Music for social change

This post contributed by Sarah Brooks.

Ashoka recently teamed up with Thievery Corporation at their concert in Baltimore, MD to get the word out about social change and social entrepreneurship. While I couldn’t have been more excited that my favorite DJ duo wanted us to be there, I was even more impressed with Thievery Corporation’s social focus, and the passions of their fans. During the concert, we asked the 4,000 attendees what they wanted to see changed in the world. Check out their answers and see behind the scenes photos of the concert.

We also asked everyone what their favorite song about change is. Check it out on Ashoka Radio and click play at the bottom to listen to the full playlist. Want to add a song? Email Wil Kristin at wkristin@ashoka.org with your suggestion and a short comment. I was definitely listening to Ashoka Radio while working today!
Have a suggestion for another event that Ashoka could get involved in? Let us know!
