“When we were recording the song “Set Apart This Dream” for our new cd, “Memento Mori,” I was thinking about the innocence that is so easily and often stolen from so many kids. Today, there are 2 million children around the world who are victims of sex slavery. We named this tour because sometimes we have to fight violence with peace and that takes unity. We have to fight thieves who steal children and sell them with generosity. This also takes unity. It’s our way of bringing a bit of attention to a grave matter. All of us who are in a safer place have the ability to help lift some of the burden of such a heavy and disgusting injustice. If you text UNITE to 20222, $10 will be added to your cell phone bill and a donation will be made to World Vision’s effort to rescue the victims of sex slavery.”
I’m pretty sure most of you already have Memento Mori, but here is the to follow to download “Set Apart This Dream.” Makes me have so much more appreciation for the song and the band. I think it’s a wonderful cause. Please donate if you can!
It's one thing to say we love this band…but I think it's the real thing to put some effort out to support such a great cause honoring our favorite band!!…hey, it's just giving up a couple of sodas or coffees, we can all do that small part!!

Not to be confused with the consentual BDSM, (like when Ryan was running for the US Senate, the Republican who dropped out just before now President Obama first won the Illinois Senate seat in 2004) because he and his ex wife actress Jeri Ryan (of Star Trek Voyager and Boston Legal fame) had a "sex dungean" in their Chicago condo, sex slavery is a serious issue. Child sex slavery is most prevalant worldwide in India (where 60% come from – wow) and Thailand where 40% of the prostitutes are children. Go get em Lacey!

Flyleaf is heading back to Russia because according to this website, Sameer said he (and presumably the rest of the band) had the best experience EVER on their one off to Russia with Korn in 08.
