August 2022 - 'Stand Up!' - Our get-out-the-vote anthem

 

Dear Friends -

Like so many of you, we're concerned about the political environment here in the good ol' USA.

Among other things, our democracy is at stake in state after state where Republican propagators of the Big Lie that the 2020 election was stolen have been nominated for secretary of state and governor positions. Should they win, these are the very people who's job it would be to certify election results.

And then there's the US Congress to worry about. Without solid Democratic majorities in both houses, nothing can be done with respect to voting rights, abortion rights, and the out-of-control Supreme Court.
 
We will need huge voter turnout in November to make a difference.

It's with this in mind that we've released our new get-out-the-vote anthem Stand Up! and nothing would make us happier than for musical artists, especially those with a bigger following than ours (a very low bar), to perform and/or record this song to help remind people why their vote is so important this November.

So, if you like the tune, please share widely!
