Faith Petric, a San Francisco icon for over 40 years, has been called the "Fort Knox of folk music" by the San Francisco Chronicle and a model activist by Utah Phillips. At the age of 89, Faith became a member of the Raging Grannies, and has joined in many a RAGE against war, illegal occupation, and injustice. Here the Grannies sing out against PVC (polyvinyl chloride) at the Green Festival in San Francisco with Faith on guitar.
