Murray&rsquo;s music also is intended to spread awareness about bicycling as a viable form of transportation.<\/p>\n<p>During her tour stops, Murray encourages and participates in discussions about the connections between capitalism, the consumer culture, global climate change and community; and also explores and links forms of oppression such as war, racism, factory farming and domestic violence with environmental issues and global warming.<\/p>\n<p>Murray will also be doing classroom visits during her tour stop, visiting a First Year Experience class in the morning and meeting with Students for the Environment following the concert.<\/p>\n<p>Last fall, Murray went on a similar bike tour from St. Louis to New Orleans.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, contact <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bemidjistate.edu\/directory\/facstaff\/tmasman\" title=\"T.
