Membership & Outreach Accomplishments Rock the Earth volunteers worked thousands of hours at events around the country, as well as in their own home offices, to make our second year of membership and outreach more successful than we could have imagined. Public education and outreach about the projects on which we are working is our primary means of garnering support for the environmental projects that are of critical significance today. Our presence at music events engages musicians and the music community as a whole to become educated, active and involved in protecting our natural resources across the country for the enjoyment of future generations. The inspiration of new activists and the presentation of new opportunities at these events continue to drive our organization’s public outreach. In 2005, RtE ... • more than doubled our 2004 membership and email list, with a total of 720 members and over 7,000 people on our email list • completed our first membership renewal campaign, renewing 90 of our 2004 members and raising almost $8,000 • gained almost 2,000 potential volunteers and organized 100 volunteers nationwide • raised over $42,000 in RtE memberships to support our project work and outreach • volunteers donated over 7,000 hours of time in furtherance of the Rock the Earth mission • worked 101 events in 28 states and one Canadian province, totaling 136 concert dates • completed our second Education and Outreach Summer Tour, working 82 events over four months, in which we gained over $22,000, almost 500 new members and 3,000 new contacts on our mailing list while working with: • Jack Johnson and ALO (Animal Liberation Orchestra) for 32 shows • String Cheese Incident’s Big Summer Classic for 15 shows • Gov’t Mule for 7 shows • Ani D’Franco for 2 shows • such high-profile festivals as Bonnaroo, High Sierra Music Festival, Summer Camp, 10,000 Lakes Music Festival, Magfest Midwest, All Good Music Festival, Gathering of the Vibes, RockyGrass, Folks Festival and Harmony Festival • finished the year joining Bonnie Raitt for six dates and Gov’t Mule/moe. for four dates on their fall tours, and joining Yonder Mountain String Band for one evening of their annual 2-night New Year’s Eve run in Denver, CO

Our participation on various summer tours and at festivals nationwide, have exposed Rock the Earth to thousands of music fans of all ages, locations and demographics.
