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.

SASK on hakenut oikaisua ulkoministeriön rahoituspäätökseen ja kannellut menettelystä myös oikeuskanslerille.
Jos päätöstä ei oikaista, järjestö hakee asiaan ratkaisua oikeusteitse. SASKin rahoitusta leikattiin lähes 40 % poliittisesti ohjatulla päätöksellä.
