Joe Offer Why Protest Songs Against DJT won't work (95* d) RE: Why Protest Songs Against DJT won't work 08 Mar 17


My friend Hali Hammer is always quick to come up with a protest song, and she does them well. One of her most recent songs is "We Will Rise Together." She writes songs that twang the heart strings, bring people together, and bring hope in the midst of despair.
I'm sure critics can find fault with it, but here's Hali's song:
I'm proud to know her.

I work with the Hispanic community in my area, and they're scared to death. Even though they may have legal status or citizenship themselves, they certainly know and love people who are "undocumented" and feel they are subject to deportation at any moment. They need hope, and they need it now. Songs help - even if they're not Pulitzer Prize material.
