Advocacy for Global Freedom in Music

I've been trying to figure out a way to say this all day.

One of the reasons why I wanted to come on this tour was because I

wanted to stand up here

on stages and stadiums across America

and say two words that are very near and

dear to my heart. Free Palestine.

I said free Palestine.

I want those words to be loud and clear so that people

from Gaza all the way to the occupied West

Bank know that we have not forgotten them.

And this next song was inspired

by the bravery of Columbia University

students who led an encampment movement that

mobilized the entire world, opened up hearts, myself included.

So thank you to those students that risked their diplomas,

that risked their

tuition, that risked their scholarships, that stood up and said, "No."

CUAD students, Students for Justice in Palestine, and

Jewish Voices for Peace, thank you guys.

To all of my Jewish brothers and sisters,

criticism of Israel,

criticism of apartheid, being against genocide,

in no way is a criticism of you.

My message is for peace, love for all human

beings to be treated with dignity, respect, and

equality.

So I say free Palestine, I say free Lebanon, I

say free Cuba, I say free Congo, free Sudan,

free all people in America living in fear over

this terrorist organization, ICE.

None of us will be free until we are all free.

This song is called Henn's Hall.
