Peter Yarrow of Peter, Paul and Mary Presents a FREE Benefit Concert for Operation Respect Rock River Valley Blowin’ in the Wind, If I Had a Hammer, Puff the Magic Dragon and more favorites. Sing along with Peter Yarrow, Peter’s daughter, Bethany and the Rufus Roots Quartet, rap musician Baby J, and the Rock River Valley Peace Choir under the direction of Rodney Cain featuring 100 youth from Auburn High School, and Keith School. Monday, September 26th, 2011 7:00 – 8:30 PM at the Coronado Theatre Tickets are FREE but needed for admittance to the concert. Available at Coronado Box Office (815) 968-0595 or online at www.coronadopac.org (convenience fees apply). Tickets also available at the Rockford Arts Council or Wonderland Books and Toys. Donations for Operation Respect are gratefully accepted at all three locations. The anti-bullying program Operation Respect began over ten years ago when Peter Yarrow discovered a song written by Steve Seskin and Allen Shamblin called “Don’t Laugh at Me”. Out of this song grew the Operation Respect program using music as a way to reach students, giving teachers additional tools to create caring, respectful, classrooms. The McGraw-Hill Companies partnered with Operation Respect/Don’t Laugh at Me to provide curriculum guides and materials free of charge. The program is now in 22,000 schools, all 50 states and six countries around the world. Last month, 80 local administrators, community agencies, teachers and others who work with children attended a workshop focusing on Operation Respect methods. This workshop fostered a core group interested in becoming trainers willing to field requests from individual schools and organizations working with area youth to spread the message and methods of Operation Respect within the Rock River Valley. All proceeds from the benefit concert on September 26th, will be used to establish a fund supporting grants to those in the Rock River Valley seeking to use Operation Respect or similar programs to create a safer, more caring and accepting environment for children. In addition to the September 26th concert, Peter and Friends will participate in the 9th Annual International Day of Peace at the Peace Plaza on September 27th.

Since then, we have been able to focus our efforts on the scourge of bullying, ridicule and violence among youth. The Don’t Laugh at Me program brought children together in schools, camps, and clubs to sing and engage in exercises that built a sense of community and mutual respect. We have seen bullying, ridicule and violence recede and kindness advance where the program has been implemented. We still do, and the Don’t Laugh at Me program is just as vital and effective as ever. It remains the heart and soul of Operation Respect. However, the troubling new world of growing racial and cultural tension requires that we do more. We can’t ignore the rhetoric of division and hostility that has permeated discourse We are taking on the here in the U.S., in much of Europe and other parts of the world.
