Joe Keithley, leader of D.O.A.:
"We are in a tough and unsettled time right now and as we have gone
through the pandemic we have seen racism grow in Canada, to the point
where racists organizations are seemingly getting stronger.
So as a way of trying to fight this scourge I thought back to the Rock
Against Racism rallies that D.O.A. played on in the late 1970's. Those
rallies were a great success and they motivated people to stand up
to this kind of BS. So the Rickshaw Theatre and I have asked musicians
to join this cause. I really believe this will work because music has
always had the effect of making us stronger and it has the power of
healing at the same time."
