Canadian Christian artist Christine Evans is on a mission in the U.S.

Her new promotional video, Don’t Laugh At Me has been chosen as a major media promotional tool by U.S. based Operation Respect in their national campaign to create a compassionate, safe, and respectful learning environment for all children. A non-profit, Operation Respect, founded by music legend Peter Yarrow, seeks to promote academic, social, and emotional development for children in an atmosphere free of bullying, ridicule, and violence.

In her role as a national spokesperson for the organization Christine will add her performance to the September 6th concert “Tribute-A Concert Honoring The Teachers of America” to be staged at the historic Town Hall in New York City, and filmed for later airing as a national PBS-TV Special. Joining her in the event will be an all-star celebrity line-up that includes legendary folk trio Peter, Paul & Mary, musical guests Odetta, Judy Collins, and Tom Paxton, special appearances by Bill Cosby and Rosie O’Donnell, and Sesame Street’s loveably plush Elmo.

The “Don’t Laugh At Me” video premiered on the worldwide web on AOL’s Kids Online (KOL) radio website last Friday, August 24th and can now be viewed online at www.christine-evans.com.

At 17, Christine whose latest single, Surrender, is currently Top 5 on the Canadian Christian radio charts and who earlier this month shared the stage with Jars Of Clay at Canada’s inaugural staging of the major Christian festival event, FreedomFest, is passionate about her work with Operation Respect and the positive effects it can have in America on young lives.

“I think that this world is only one piece of a much larger picture, so it’s important to look beyond ourselves and our own lives,” she noted in a recent mainstream interview. “Roughly 35,000 children a day miss school across the U.S. because of bullying. The influence of the ‘Don’t Laugh At Me’ campaign is designed to reduce the problem by educating kids about the damage of bullying and encouraging a healthy, violence free atmosphere where students can learn and teachers can teach.”

Herself a high school student, Christine’s second major album release, Push, reveals a collection of self-written original songs full of compelling insights and a remarkable depth of wisdom and maturity. Adept as a musician on both guitar and keyboards, she has a heart for music that impacts with a message for the positive.

“The title Push comes from my belief that in order to effect change, we all need to push the boundaries and ourselves to the limit,” notes Christine.

An artist with a global vision, as New York concert goers will discover on September 6th, Christine Evans is a revolutionary young voice that’s already making a major difference.

Specially priced at $14.99 at participating Canadian Christian retailers, Push now includes a bonus CD with four extra Tracks. For More Information, visit Evans’ YMZ Artist Page.
