Moby to Donate to Shelters for Domestic Violence

Moby has announced that he will donate
the proceeds of his three forthcoming
California tour dates to help that
state's struggling domestic violence
shelters.

Since Governor Schwarzenegger
eliminated all State funding for shelter
services in a July line-item veto,
six California shelters have been forced
to close, and dozens of others have laid
off staff and cut services.

Moby said that he wanted to make his
donation in a way that would ensure that
the funds had a statewide impact.

'I've decided to give all of the revenue
from my upcoming California shows to the
California Partnership to End Domestic
Violence,' he said. 'My hope is that by
doing this I will enable domestic
violence prevention workers to continue
their work, and also encourage other
people to step in and help raise funds
for domestic violence prevention and
care. Domestic violence is equal parts
prison and torture for many women, and
my sincere hope is that we can step up
and help to protect women in California
and end domestic
violence.'.....read more
