&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Contributing Editor, Britt Bravo, also blogs at &lt;a href=&quot;http://havefundogood.blogspot.com/&quot;&gt;Have Fun * Do Good&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.netsquared.org/blog/britt-bravo&quot;&gt; NetSquared&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Brande Jackson founded and runs &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lokahioutreach.org/&quot;&gt;Lokahi Outreach&lt;/a&gt;, a nonprofit that partners with organizations like the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.one.org/&quot;&gt;ONE campaign&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.oxfamamerica.org/&quot;&gt; Oxfam &lt;/a&gt; to help them do grassroots campaigning on the road.  According to her &lt;a href=&quot;http://lokahioutreach.blogspot.com/&quot;&gt;Rockin&#039; Social Justice blog&lt;/a&gt;, in 2005 they got over 215,000 people to join the ONE Campaign while living on the road with U2, the Dave Matthews Band, Coldplay and the VANs Warped Tour.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you feel like making a difference, while listening to your favorite socially conscious bands this summer, they are looking for &lt;a href=&quot;http://lokahioutreach.blogspot.com/2006/05/lokahi-recruiting-for-this-summer.html&quot;&gt; volunteers and interns&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lokahi is gearing up for this summer in a big way! We&#039;ll be continuing our collaboration with ONE, and will also be doing work with environmental campaigns and voter outreach on a whole bunch of summer tours.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We&#039;ll be needing lots of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.idealist.org/org/146677-280#volunteering&quot;&gt; volunteers&lt;/a&gt;, have spots for &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.idealist.org/org/146677-280#internships&quot;&gt; interns&lt;/a&gt; and even a few opportunities for &lt;a href=&quot;http://http://www.idealist.org/org/146677-280#jobs&quot;&gt; experienced campaigners&lt;/a&gt; to join us.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Lokahi has a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.myspace.com/lokahioutreach&quot;&gt; MySpace blog&lt;/a&gt; as well.&lt;/p&gt;
