Musicians add their voices to war protest
- Share via
Sheryl Crow, Jay-Z, Lucinda Williams, R.E.M., Dave Matthews, Missy Elliott, Emmylou Harris and Busta Rhymes were among 42 music acts that signed their names to an antiwar message published as a full-page advertisement in Wednesday’s issue of the New York Times.
The ad, purchased by Musicians United to Win Without War, featured the large-type message, “War on Iraq is wrong and we know it.”
The group has scheduled a news conference today in New York. The musicians are part of the larger umbrella group Win Without War, a coalition that includes the NAACP, National Organization for Women, National Council of Churches and the Sierra Club.
