And the #1 Social Justice Song Is....

We're not ready people. We're not ready for that kind of definitive victory. There are way too many excellent protest, freedom, and organizing songs out there. We'll have to keep sifting through the many suggestions you've been advancing. But for the moment, in honor of the Amizade Water Walk and all that it symbolizes, let me suggest Stand by Me as delivered by Playing for Change, an organization that pulls together musicians spanning the globe in common songs. They create a shared sense of hope and they raise money to increase children's access to music and musical instruments. Wicked Cool. Here's their most-watched video, which has more than 30 million hits:


Take a look and feel good about the world. Have great weekends. And props to all who are walking in or supporting this year's Amizade Water Walk. It's excellent work. Feel good about your efforts to change the world. They're making a difference. Catch you in a few days.
