Campaign For Change

This Ain't A Scene, It's A Donations Race

While some bands like U2 are known for their philanthropic efforts, some simply aren’t. Fall Out Boy is one of those bands. However, they’re doing everything they can to change that. Not only do they support Causecast Organization Invisible Children, but the band has contributed $50,000 to fight against Prop. 8. “There are a lot of causes out there — a lot of ‘good’ fights to be fought,” said bassist Pete Wentz. “I think Proposition 8 is pretty lame — as many others do too.” The band released a statement saying, “We believe government shouldn’t legislate love. Vote no on Proposition 8.”
Do you think a band that isn’t known for its philanthropic efforts have as much impact as someone who you expect it from, like Bono?
