...CORROSION OF CONFORMITY held a special screening of their new "Live Volume" DVD at the Rialto Theater in Raleigh on October 18th. All box office and merchandise profits from the event - titled "Live Volume: The Movie" - will go to benefit the Afghan Women's Mission. Based in Pasadena, California, the mission is the charitable arm of the  Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan. Originally formed to resist Soviet military occupation, RAWA today defies fundamentalist Islamic Taliban policies that prohibit women from participating in public life, earning a living or even seeking education. This organization of pro-democracy Afghan women has established schools for girls and boys, founded a hospital for refugee Afghan women and children, conducts literacy education and provides information about the situation in the country to human rights and news organizations. Its members do so at great personal risk, as the penalty for undertaking these things is death. Says COC's Pepper Keenan: "On Sept. 11, Americans experienced unspeakable terror. But it's come to my attention since then that the women of Afghanistan have been living under terror day in and day out, for years. Mothers are responsible for teaching children. If the mothers of Afghanistan aren't allowed to learn themselves, how can they teach?" Adds the band's Mike Dean: "Due to the overwhelming response that the relief efforts have received since the attacks, there are some causes that have slipped off the public's radar screen. This is an important one." For more information on RAWA and the Afghan Women's Mission, visit  www.rawa.org. For more information on COC, visit www.corrosivecabaal.com...
