Lara Downes writes:

Dear Bill,

I'm proud to launch My Promise Project, inspired by my collaborations with U.S. Poet Laureate Rita Dove and composer David Sanford. 

"I gave my promise to the world, and the world followed me here"

-Testimonial from On the Bus With Rosa Parks, by Rita Dove

My Promise Project asks the question: "What is your promise to the world?" 

Tell us with a sign you make, in a video of 10 seconds or less, and submit your promise online at http://www.laradownes.com/my-promise-project/. 

This is an ongoing project, but videos submitted before November 15 may be featured in my November 21 performance at Le Poisson Rouge, NYC, celebrating the release of my new album America Again.
