I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Happening now: nurses and staff at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle are holding a vigil for Alex Pretti. Some are out here in their scrubs. People have brought flowers and are writing notes to add to the candles.
