<P align=left><FONT size=4>Tom Juravich got his start as a performer singing for
workers and their unions on picket lines, at rallies, and in meeting
halls. Now, twenty-five years since the release of his album Rising Again,
he is one of the leading singer/songwriters whose music remains firmly rooted in
the labor movement. His CDs A World to Win and Out of Darkness were
released by Flying Fish/ Rounder Records. Juravich is a Professor of Labor
Studies and the Director the UMass Labor Center. The author of several
books, he will be sharing a set of new songs based on his new book, Bread
Without Roses, a series of workplace ethnographies in Massachusetts.
Active in the Massachusetts Society of Professors (MTA/NEA), Juravich was a
founding member of the American Federation of Musicians Local
1000.<BR><BR>Teresa Healy is a Canadian singer-songwriter who has been active in
social movements all her life. She has brought her music to the peace
movement, anti-free trade work, and labor events in various parts of North
America. Together with story-teller Ruth Stewart-Verger, she produced a
CD, She Pushed from Behind, of stories and songs about the contradictions and
contributions of first-wave feminism. Peace activists around the world
have played her song “All Souls’ Day” available at <A
href="http://www.teresahealy.ca">www.teresahealy.ca</A>. Teresa is about
to release a new song in solidarity with the people of Iraq and all those who
work for a world without war. “A Song for Peace” features Tom Juravich on
vocals and guitars. Healy is a Senior Researcher at the Canadian Labour
Congress and a member of AFM Local 1000.<BR><BR>*Donations to the Warren J.
