Moe Rock - Pop Musican/Green Wristband for Democracy in Iran Campaign
Tuesday, March 9, 2010 - 8:00pm-9:00pm Eastern
Simon Shaheen dazzles his listeners as he deftly leaps from traditional Arabic sounds to jazz and Western classical styles. His soaring technique, melodic ingenuity, and unparalleled grace have earned him international acclaim as a virtuoso on the ‘oud and violin.
Shaheen is one of the most significant Arab musicians, performers, and composers of his generation. His work incorporates and reflects a legacy of Arabic music, while it forges ahead to new frontiers, embracing many different styles in the process. This unique contribution to the world of arts was recognized in 1994 when Shaheen was honored with the prestigious National Heritage Award at the White House.
Moe Rock - At 15 years old in Iowa, Moe Rock was very impressed by the visit of Iranian Nobel Peace Laureate Shirin Ebadi to his school. Shirin Ebadi was the first Iranian and Woman ever awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. It’s something he never forgot. In fact, meeting Shirin Ebadi is something that affected Moe deeply and still does.
Perhaps it is quite appropriate then, 4 years later, that Moe’s song “Ah-Low” has been downloaded over half a million times directly from Iran and has become an anthem of protest.
Moe has had mentors along the way like Rich Cronin (LFO and recently the reality tv show on VH1 ‘Mission: Man Band’).

Tuesday, March 16, 2010 - 8:00pm-9:00pm Eastern
Dale and Dar Emme founded the Yellow Ribbon Suicide Prevention Program International in 1994 after losing their youngest son, Michael, age 17 to suicide. The Yellow Ribbon Program is being used throughout the world as a simple, effective tool to save lives. Speaking throughout the US, Canada and Australia, the Emmes’ are helping raise awareness about the epidemic levels of youth suicide and are bringing focus, action, intervention, postvention and coalition building to suicide prevention efforts in many communities. Together they have written and published the story “I’ll Always Be With You” which appeared in the Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul book. They are currently working on a manuscript, “Legacy of the Yellow Mustang” about their travels throughout the world, work with youth who have attempted suicide, and families who have lost loved ones to suicide. Dale and Dar were appointed to the Colorado Governor’s Suicide Prevention Advisory Commission in 1998 and founding members of the National Council for Suicide Prevention.
