Ballot initiative, UFOs, and Hip-Hop

Jeff Peckman

Jeff Peckman is probably best known for his ballot initiative to form an Extraterrestrial Affairs Commission in Denver.  This initiative is in its third go-round and is utilizing the community to achieve its goals.  "Welcome To Earth" is the working title and rather than pay petitioners the EXTRA Campaign,  founded by Peckman,  is willing to donate $1.00 per signature and up to $6,000.00 total to various Denver charitable causes.  This weekend it will be the Denver homeless by means of the Peoples Fair.  Peckman and other initiative supporters will be at the CHUN Peoples Fair this weekend collecting signatures from Denver registered voters.

How does Hip-Hop fall into this? Local artists such as Calm. as well as others will be supporting Peckman and his efforts to collect signatures and get this up for election.  Volunteers will be collecting signatures at local venues and concerts that support the initiative.  Calm. will  be organizing a show also titled "Welcome to Earth" aimed directly at getting more signatures.  These shows are perfect opportunities to get 'spaced out' to your favorite local musicians and help out a charitable cause at the same time.

"The Welcome to Earth theme is not just a friendly gesture towards extraterrestrial civilizations. It is also a reminder that humans are guests of Earth and need to respect their host planet with better stewardship. The Welcome to Earth project will highlight the creativity, compassion, and philanthropy of humanity through the collaboration of musicians, artists, charitable causes, and ballot initiative petitioners." - Jeff Peckman

A list of events will be posted on the EXTRA Campaign web site

Note: Donations from the Welcome to Earth project to a recipient charitable cause does not imply an endorsement of the ballot initiative, or an agreement to participate in the project, by the recipient charitable cause.
