CONSPIRACY OF HOPE

June 15, 1986

Six concerts in 12 days, crossing the U.S. from San Francisco to New York. The Conspiracy of Hope tour was a celebration of Amnesty International's 25th anniversary, but it was so much more: It was Amnesty's biggest and boldest attempt to enter the American consciousness. It worked. The tour nearly tripled Amnesty USA's membership in a matter of weeks, and it raised $3 million for the organization's coffers - an amount equal to their entire yearly budget. Many celebrities joined Amnesty's Conspiracy of Hope tour. Meryl Streep joined the grand New York - New Yersey tour finale in Giants Stadium, alongside Mia Farrow, U2, Jack Healy, Peter Gabriel, Bryan Adams, Joan Baez and Anjelica Huston.
