Curated by Tom Morello, The Power To The People Festival brings together artists, fans, activists, organizations and community leaders for an unforgettable day celebrating the power of music and collective action to inspire change.
Interestingly, the festival will happen one month before the midterm election during a time when Republicans in Congress will be out of session and back home campaigning.
The festival will take place at a perfect time to draw national attention to the midterm election.
The event will also get maximum media attention and potentially get even more people out to vote.
