BLOOMINGTON, ILLINOIS. June 26, 2006 -- Musician Sheryl Crow joins John Mellecamp in supporting decent living wages for working men and women.
"I stand with John Mellencamp in supporting the Central Illinois Organizing Project's (CIOP) efforts to achieve a
Living Wage for the workers at the U.S. Cellular Coliseum. Earning a wage that will keep a person in poverty is wrong,
and I look forward to one day returning to a Living Wage arena in Bloomington." said Sheryl Crow in a statement provided to CIOP

decision-making process on justice issues. Issues are addressed by member groups and are organized around: Living Wage;
Affordable housing; Banking Reinvestment (& CRA); Access to Transportation; Neighborhood Safety; Predatory Lending;
