Since
the release of A Rush Of Blood To The Head, Coldplay has also
been actively supporting various social and political causes.
They have been advocates for Oxfam's Make Trade Fair campaign
and Amnesty International.

The
group has also performed at various charity projects such as
Band Aid 20, Live 8, and the Teenage Cancer Trust. Martin was
outspoken against Iraq war in 2003, and endorsed Democratic
presidential candidate John Kerry in 2004.

Bassist
Guy Berryman says, 'You can make people aware of issues. It
isn't very much effort for us at all, but if it can help people,
then we want to do it'.

Despite
Coldplay's surge in popularity, the band has remained very protective
of how their music is used in the media.

The
band allows their music to be used in film, television, and
promotional spots such as the movie trailer to Peter Pan.

However,
Coldplay has been adamantly against their use in actual product
endorsement.

The
band turned down multi-million dollar contracts from Gatorade,
Diet Coke and The Gap, who wanted to use the songs Yellow, Trouble,
and Don't Panic respectively.

According
to Martin, 'We wouldn't be able to live with ourselves if we
sold the songs' meanings like that.'
