Read more on Tori Amos.

Read Wiki's page on her [here], I am amazed at what she has done.

Little bit of the page: "In June 1994, Amos co-founded RAINN, The Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network, a toll-free help line in the US connecting callers with their local rape crisis center. Amos, herself a victim of sexual assault,[13] was seen as unlocking the silence of her assault through her music; thus "Unlock the Silence" went on to become a year-long campaign for RAINN when Amos became a national spokesperson for the organization. By the summer of 2006, RAINN had received its one millionth caller[14] and the organization's success has led to it ranking in "America's 100 Best Charities" by Worth, and one of the "Top 10 Best Charities" by Marie Claire.[15] RAINN has played an active role in urging Congress to fund programs relating to sexual assault,[16] including getting legislation passed for requiring sex offender registries in all states,[17] and most recently to calling on Congress to investigate allegations of misconduct by contractors in Iraq.[18]"
