Several thousand people fill the street in front of the Rhode Island State House in Providence in a rally and march in solidarity with the people of Minnesota. It is part of a day long "general strike" in opposition to the ongoing federal immigration crackdown in Minneapolis.

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.
