Get ready to be blown away by The Spitfire Tour! This epic free speech tour brings together musicians, actors, and activists who are all about speaking out on global affairs. And guess what? It was partly created by the awesome human rights advocate Zack De la Rocha from Rage Against The Machine!
The Spitfire Tour hit college campuses for several years, mainly in the Fall. Each event was a total blast, with at least four speakers on stage at once. But don’t worry, they took turns speaking so you could soak up all the wisdom.
They covered a wide range of topics, from human rights to environmental justice, social issues, and even current campus matters. But here’s the best part – they didn’t just lecture you. Nope, they made learning fun and entertaining! They mixed it up with spoken word, acoustic performances, slides, videos, poetry, and more.
Their goal? To inspire young people like you to get involved in their lives, communities, and the world around them. And guess what? The Spitfire Tour was so successful that it evolved into The Spitfire Agency. Now they’re running a bunch of ‘spin off’ tours based on the original Spitfire concept. How cool is that?
Sadly, the last Spitfire Tour happened in 2003. But hey, let’s not dwell on the past. In the 1999 Spitfire Tour, they even had Greg Graffin join them for some dates. He talked about “Biodiversity and Extinction.” Talk about mind-blowing!

You should, and I totally understand.
