MAMMA MIA's Lisa Brescia Speaks Out for I AM THIS LAND Contest

Lisa Brescia from the hit Broadway musical Mamma Mia is the newest spokesperson for our I AM THIS LAND video contest on diversity. She has joined stars like Micheal Urie (Ugly Betty), Sharon Jones (Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings), Ishmael Beah (author and activist) and DJ Spooky to support this new initiative by Breakthrough.

From now until January 7th, 2011, human rights organization, Breakthrough, is calling on people to make a video on diversity using the phrase "I am this land," and enter to win a grand prize of $2,500 and more. In 2010, we watched all the things that happened in 2010: From anti-immigrant actions and racial profiling to bullying and homophobia; from fear mongering to the extreme, divisive rhetoric of the mid-term elections: it's time for a do over. We believe that in the new year many people are ready to live in a country that is open-minded and celebrates differences.

And for those that are unable to make a video, we still want your participation. Follow @breakthrough on Twitter, with the hashtag #iamthisland and tell us who or what symbolizes diversity to you. All entries are entered to win a DJ Hero by Activision.
