Concert For Equality by Conor Oberst

The Arizona SB 1070 act is the strictest anti-illegal immigration legislation act in the United States at the moment. It has been the cause of a lot of controversy and Conor Oberst has joined a number of artists who are boycotting the act.

In attempt to gain more supporters for the boycott, he along with his band Bright Eyes have organized a block-party style concert: Concert For Equality in Benson, Nebraska. The concert will be held on July 31 and all proceeds will benefit the American Civil Liberties Union’s fight against fining employers and landlords who employ and rent to illegal immigrants in the state of Nebraska.

Even if you don't agree with his political views, it should be a good show. A number of bands have already signed up for the concert including: Cursive and Lullaby for the Working class. Oberst will also reunite with his band Desaparecidos.

Tickets go on sale through this website, Saturday the 10th of July for $20 and due to the venue's size, will likely sell out quickly. Click here to learn more about the cause.
