Moby is well known advocate for a variety of progressive causes, working with MoveOn and PETA, among others. He created MoveOn Voter Fund's "Bush in 30 Seconds" contest along with singer/MoveOn Cultural Director Laura Dawn and MoveOn Executive Director Eli Pariser.

He also actively engages in nonpartisan activism. He has performed benefit concerts for the Institute for Music and Neurologic Function [3], promoting music therapy. Moby also serves on the Board of Directors of Amend.org [4], a nonprofit that implements injury prevention programs in Africa.

He is an advocate of network neutrality and he testified before the US House committee debating the issue in 2006 [5][6] .

[edit] Political quotes
Wikiquote has a collection of quotations related to:
Moby

* "One simple word: ugh. Is something still considered a conspiracy if it's played out right under our noses?"

* "It will be interesting to see what the long term fruits of our national apathy will be, 'cause so far they've been pretty foul."

* "I'm actually kind of impressed by Iraq's patience right now...I mean, look at it objectively. They've opened their doors to UN inspectors, they're being bombed by British and American troops, American forces are massing at their borders, American diplomats are actively looking to assassinate Saddam Hussein, etc." [7]
