On September 22, 2001, Rodgers and Tommy Boy Music president Tom Silverman brought together 200 musicians, celebrities, and personalities in New York City and Los Angeles to re-record Rodgers’ song “We Are Family” (best known in its 1979 hit version performed by Sister Sledge) to begin the healing process following the September 11 attacks. Spike Lee directed the “We Are Family” music video, and Danny Schechter directed the documentary The Making and Meaning of We Are Family, which depicted the recording session. In 2002, the documentary was chosen as a Sundance Film Festival Special Selection.

Three Dot Dash is a yearlong leadership and mentoring programme inspired by the late 13-year-old poet Mattie Stepanek that teaches teen leaders how to effectively “tell their stories” during the Just Peace Summit using various forms of media, current technology, and distribution methods to gain media attention and public support for their causes.
