Brooklyn's Rue Snider recently released the video for his new song, "Don't Lose Heart," which addresses current social and political issues in the US. Snider had this to say about the song, "Income inequality is something I've addressed in my music before and I think it's the most pressing issue facing the United States right now. There is of course so much social injustice taking place that it is unwise to ignore the intersectionality of the many issues involving gender, race, and class as well. There are powerful people in the top 1% who own all of the wealth while people I know personally are burdened by 2 and sometimes 3 jobs just to pay rent and be able to eat. It's not right." Snider posted the song on his website as a free download with a request to donate to the ACLU. www.musicbyrue.com/merch https://www.aclu.org/donate-aclu "Raise our voices loud they’ve got to go Politicians on the take Police trafficking in hate Every day citizens stand up to the dark Like Lucy Burns and Rosa Parks Speak truth to power Don’t lose heart"
