People for Peace and Justice members joined about 30 other community members for an organizing workshop and concert presented by the Riot Folk Collective and sponsored by Loose Screws. The Activism to Organizing and concert were part of their "Respect Yer Mama 2009 Bicycle Tour." The workshop helped attendees focus on the root similarities of our causes and to begin exploring ways we can work together to rebuild our community. The concert featured contemporary folk music by Shannon Murray and Evan Greer addressing a wide variety of social issues.
