Singer Gabriel pushes social justice at Davos

DAVOS, Switzerland – Singer Peter Gabriel is making his case for social justice at the annual World Economic Forum.

Gabriel said Thursday he'd like to see the economic forum take on more of a social conscience. "From my own point of view, I would love to see an integration between the world economic forum and the world social forum, but I think that's an unlikely dream," said the former member of the group Genesis, who's now 57.

Gabriel is a co-founder of Witness, an advocacy group that has trained and supported thousands of human rights activists in dozens of countries to use video as an advocacy tool. "So you have big business people, governments making deals for sure but there's also an opportunity if you have a cause like we have," said Gabriel, who's in Davos. Gabriel is promoting the Internet as tool that gives ordinary people the power to fight injustice and abuse.
