For the Denver-based Flobots, activism and art have always been intertwined. Since its inception, the band has encouraged fans to engage in voter registration and other community efforts. In 2008, when Flobots achieved artistic and commercial success with the politically charged hit song “Handlebars,” they decided to take their activism to a national stage. They build communities of musicians and music fans who are inspired to create positive change in their relationships, themselves and their world. Fight with Tools is their social networking site. Executive Director Laura Bond describes to host Nikki Kayser the street teams who develop leadership skills and perform service projects in their communities.
