Peter Yarrow's talents as a creative artist-both with the legendary trio Peter, Paul & Mary and as a solo performer-are frequently directed at using music to convey a message of humanity and caring. His gift for songwriting has produced some of the most moving songs from Peter, Paul & Mary, including "Puff, the Magic Dragon," "Day is Done", "Light One Candle" and "The Great Mandala." As a member of the renowned musical trio, Yarrow has earned multiple gold and platinum albums, as well as numerous GRAMMYs.

Over the years, many issues have moved Peter to commit his time and talent: equal rights, peace, the environment, gender equality, homelessness, hospice care, and education. All have utilized his skills as both a performer and an organizer. Peter Yarrow's life and work - culminating in the founding and leadership of Operation Respect with its "Don't Laugh At Me" initiative - is based on his passionate belief that music, with its power to build community and catalyze change, can be a particularly powerful organizing tool.
