By Christina Tobin on January 28, 2015 in Announcements, Multimedia, News, Podcasts, Press Releases Moby Christina Tobin, founder and chair of the Free and Equal Elections Foundation interviewed music legend Richard Hall, better known by his alias: Moby. Moby has sold over 20 million albums worldwide throughout his career and truly embodies the concept of using music to empower the people. Moby’s intellect and consciousness have made him a vocal representative of reform throughout many facets of government and society at large. During the interview, Moby dives into many important issues affecting modern American society, including GMO labeling, legalization of marijuana, prison reform, transparency in government, corruption in the music industry, equality, money in politics, and voting reform. “The truth is always a good thing, transparency is always a good thing. Suppressing the truth only benefits a corrupt status quo.” - Moby The interview finished up with an invitation by Christina Tobin for Moby to perform at the 2015 United We Stand Festival, tentatively scheduled for September 12th in Colorado. This festival, hosted by Free and Equal, will bring like-minded individuals such as Moby together in support of an educational experience for electoral and social reform; uniting humanity on the common grounds of liberty regardless of political persuasion.

On December 18, 2013, Free & Equal’s Christina Tobin talked with Michael Levitin, journalist and activist, former correspondent with Newsweek, Time, LA Times, and Daily Telegraph, currently editor of Occupy Wall Street Journal and Occupy.com, a central hub of the occupy movement across the world. Levitin talks about how when he was writing for corporate media, although he was able to cover worthwhile subjects such as protests and environmental issues, he was never able to use the “appropriate vocabulary.” Working now in the alternative media, he is able to use a new language, not a corporate language, that is more appropriate for the 99%. Levitin discusses a new campaign he is working on called Fed Up 100, launching on December 23rd on the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Federal Reserve. Levitin explains that the Fed issue was a foundational grievance of Occupy protests. He explains that the Fed is a private bank, not part of the Federal government. With a truly Federal central bank, we the people could create our own money debt-free.

He will be speaking at Free & Equal's upcoming “United We Stand” Festival at UCLA on May 10th.
