Rhiannon Giddens Instagram – “Show up, disrupt, do anything to make the whole world listen.”
@rhiannongiddens, @crysmatthews, and @resistancerevivalchorus reimagine folk icon @peggyseegermusic’s “How I Long for Peace” as a powerful call for community and civic engagement in partnership with @joytothepolls and @headcountorg.
This and every election season, we get a chance to show up at the polls and vote the world *we* want to see closer to existence – a more just and peaceful society envisioned in this incantation of a song. We dedicate this recording to survivors and victims of war, injustice, and poverty everywhere.
#NationalVoterRegistrationDay is tomorrow. Check your registration and make sure you’re ready to vote, watch the full video on YouTube, and listen to “How I Long for Peace” everywhere you stream music (all links in bio).
As we long for peace and justice across the globe, may you use your voice and vote.
