A couple of years ago, I was introduced to Utah through his son Brendon, who was an intern at Bread and Roses. Utah heard about B&R and what we do and agreed to perform at a benefit for us. He played in front of a packed Capital Theater audience. It was one of the most memorable nights of my life (those Wobbly songs always get me going) and we raised much money to continue our work. Utah spent the day he was in town hanging out at the advocacy center chatting with staff and guests alike. He was friendly, open, honest, wise, and immediately made us all feel like he was our dear friend. A truly rare person.

Utah Phillips is very, very ill. He can no longer perform and urgently needs financial help. He has given so much to the One Big Union and progressive people everywhere. Now is the time to show him what we learned from him and to put into practice the solidarity he taught us.

I.W.W. Musician, Singer, Poet, Writer, and, most of all Organizer - Utah Phillips has spent his life uplifting the spirits of all struggling against the bosses to build a better world. At all his concerts he had it stipulated that wobblies would be present to fundraise and organize.

He has been the voice for "...all those thousands of unnamed wobblies buried in unmarked graves throughout the west." Don't let that voice go unanswered.
