United Progressive Fraternity (UPF)
United Progressive Fraternity (UPF) is passionately committed to empowering change in the world by leading an artistic & musical movement dedicated to sustainable environmental practices as our planet is on the verge of collapse.
UPF is supported by a growing collective of international artists, musicians, producers, promoters, etc. who give freely of their time to support this critical mission to bring about a much-needed change in our troubled world.
“We have said before that UPF isn’t just about being a band and making music. More than this, it is what the band and its music stand for – a message to humanity about our environment and how we can make a change to save our distressed planet. You are there with us on this journey and that is why our concept exists in the form that it does. The more people that are involved to help us, whether it be from a musical, artistic, or a networking/media, the better our success will be in this. Your commitment to our cause is tremendously valued and we really appreciate all that you do. We still have much to do and we hope that you will continue to be with us on the way and that you continue to enjoy the trip! From the comments some of you have given us, we know that you do!”
