With Florida-based LIQUID MUSIC GROUP's upcoming release of the new Dan
Reed CD "Coming up for Air", Dan presents a group of songs that mirror
this life journey.

With songs composed from Hong Kong to New Dehli, Jerusalem to London, he
has come full circle to do what he has always done best--create, and
most importantly... to sing to all who will listen.

"What I have learned most on this path is that music brings people
together and in a world of war, corruption, disease, and environmental
destruction... 'together' is a good direction. I am constantly inspired
and hopeful for the future of music. It is an amazing playground to feel
connected inside and out. This creative journey has been a very wild and
harrowing ride, but the view has been worth the price of admission."

Dance with us

DanceObama: The Pulse for Peace

Over the next few days, change is a gonna come. The change is overt: a new President, a new administration, and it is as-yet-undefined. Some startling clues exist, however: pictures of dead children in Gaza horrify us, creating the clear loud message that brutality and carnage, no matter under what guise, are not to be tolerated. A pilot saves 155 people with calm and skill that reassures us that not all disasters end in total loss and that paying attention and thinking clearly actually works sometimes. A gay bishop and a rightwing preacher both celebrate a new government that is not catering to any one constituency but appears to want to cut a swath across all, and maybe even elevate the country to a higher moral ground, without privileging one belief system or lifestyle over another.

The train rolled into town yesterday, bringing a newly-forceful but always thoughtful guy to lead the changes. He did not bring the change with him on the trip, nor will he deliver it to us with his inaugural address. But over the next few days, through music , art, dancing, sharing food and warmth, change will come to us.

We will create it.

DanceObama: The Pulse for Peace is one of many events planned for Washington DC. It has also inspired people in Boston, Chicago and California to join in, at their own times, in their own celebrations of manifesting hope and change through music and dance. The event in DC is open to all, for a donation of $15.00, and it will happen at the Peace Mural Gallery at 3336 M. St in Georgetown from 4-6 pm Monday, in the midst of stunning paintings by the artist Huong. Hot drinks and small food will be served, and we will have drummers, dancers, and music to move to.

Over 100 years ago, a man named Rudolf Laban began to devise ways of bringing people together through specifically created participatory dance events called movement choirs, in which each person contributed to a communal celebration of harmony. By finding the universal pulse for change, individual voices and collective joy can be heard across the world, calling each of us to thoughtful, aware, and considered action.

Some of the music that we will be using for this event:

Sweet Honey in the Rock: "We Are the Ones We've Been Waiting For"

Kanye West: "Love Train"

Sly and the Family Stone: "Everyday People"

Cat Stevens: "Peace Train"

John Lennon: "Imagine"

Johnny Clegg: "Life is a Magic Thing"

Seal: "A Change is Gonna Come" (or any version)

The Pointer Sisters: "Yes We Can, Can"

U2: "Beautiful Day"

If you can, come down to Georgetown on Monday afternoon and be a part of starting the pulse with us. If you can't, put on the music, be inspired, and begin to move with us. Together we cross the threshold into a new way of being in the world: as agents of our own lives and stewards for peace and hope everywhere.

The artist Huong's stunning works of art depicting aspects of peace and justice are the setting for a singular event in the sweep of inaugural celebrations. Dance therapists, bloggers, activists, and dancers will come together for a visual and participatory celebration of hope and change and finding our voices as citizens.

"Movement choirs have been around in one form or another for thousands of years," said Karen Bradley, one of the organizers of the event. "Whenever people celebrate or mourn or protest, moving in unison provides a means of empowering oneself and the community."

Robyne Davis, another organizer, pointed out "This inauguration offers people a chance to engage with the hope and change Barack Obama inspires in an active and interactive way. Through song and dance, we can hear our own voices and are empowered to work towards a more peaceful and just world."

Featuring drummers, dancers, and the paintings in the gallery, and led by emcees/actors/improv artists James Kinstle and Joe Brady, the event is sure to inspire collective joy, vision, and hope for a manifestation of Dr. King's dream.

Progressive Working Group Participants and Friends,

Despite the bad weather, 53 progressive activists met last night with the 8 state senators and delegates from Districts 18 and 20 to present the Progressive Working Group's legislative priorities. Representatives from environmental, immigrant rights, housing, voting rights, community, health care, and peace groups presented 15 progressive priorities for the 2009 state legislative session. Also attending were representatives from Congressman Chris Van Hollen and State Comptroller Peter Franchot's offices. The eight legislators attended generally expressed with support for almost all of the priorities (see below) with some dissent on the ICC and discussions about the Health Security Act continuing.

The Progressive Working Group will hold a similar meeting at the Wheaton Library this Sunday with state legislators from Montgomery and Prince George's Counties. We have already received definite or tentative confirmations from Senators David Harrington, Mike Lenett, and Paul Pinksy, and Delegates Kumar Barve, Jolene Ivey, Roger Manno, Doyle Niemann, Victor Ramirez, Kirill Reznik, Craig Rice, and Herman Taylor. All state legislators are welcome to speak. Other elected officials and members of the public are welcome to participate in Q&A. Please RSVP to me: mikehersh@mikehersh.com to confirm you will attend or if your plans change.

We invite you and progressive organizations to join us on Sunday as we continue to make the case for a progressive agenda for the upcoming legislative session. Please also spread the word to other activists and groups. The Progressive Working Group is building a coalition for progressive legislative change in the state of Maryland and we need your participation.

Legislative priorities presented to legislators will include: the Global Warming Solutions Act, combined taxation reporting for corporations, protection for immigrants, public financing of General Assembly campaigns, Workforce Anti-Fraud Bill, defunding the ICC, Health Security Act (single payer), bill on electoral integrity and transparency, protection for students from military recruiters, Civil Marriage Protection Act, gender identity and expression protection, and no police spying on lawful activities

The Progressive Working Group Steering Committee: Mike Hersh, Elbridge James, Dana Beyer, Wally Malakoff, Norm Oslik, Sharon Dooley, and Mike Tabor will host and moderate discussions.The Progressive Working Group is a coalition of progressive groups, primarily in Baltimore, Montgomery ad Prince George's Counties, working to create a broad-based progressive presence in Annapolis.

Passed along from Delegate Ali:

SAQIB ALI DEMOCRAT, DELEGATE DISTRICT 39
"Fresh Ideas, Bold Vision, Strong Leadership"

Dear Friend,

As you know, I am an elected member of the Maryland General Assembly.
I'm honored to serve and represent the people of Maryland's 39th
Legislative District. In this position I feel I have a tremendous
opportunity as well as responsibility to help move our state forward.

The General Assembly holds its annual 3-month legislative session in
Annapolis starting on January 14th. Currently, I'm preparing legislation
for the 2009 session. I have an ambitious plan and I'm hoping for some
momentous results. Keep your eyes on your email box and the newspapers
in the next few months for updates. I hope to work especially hard in in
my capacity as a public watchdog for Maryland's residents and consumers.
Examples: http://www.saqibali.org/blog/

As much as I want to focus on good, progressive policies my job also
entails a good amount of politics. And without strong political
standing, I will be less able to push through desired policies. If I'm
always concerned about my own re-election, I won't be able to focus as
much on legislating. That is why I am requesting your help today.

I humbly request that you make a contribution to my re-election campaign
fund today. My goal is to raise $4,000 before January 9th. I urge you to
donate as generously as you can comfortably afford ($25, $50, $100 or
more). Every dollar counts. And I need your help today. You can donate
online securely with your credit card by clicking here:
http://www.alifordelegate.com/contribute.htm

If you are uncomfortable donating online, please send your donation by
mail to:
12504 Degas Court,
North Potomac, MD 20878.
Checks should be made payable
to "Friends of Saqib Ali".

Your financial support today will make me a more effective legislator.

Thank you for you friendship and support,

Delegate Saqib Ali
