I want to take a second to talk about something

that's extremely important to me. Something

important to people all over the world and especially

in America right now. In a couple of days, I'm

going to be heading home and my heart is aching,

thinking about the people, the children, the

families all over America who are being mercilessly

targeted by ICE. I'm thinking about all of their

pain and how their lives are being destroyed

right in front of us. I'm also thinking about

Minnesota and everyone back at home who is living

in so much fear and searching for answers on

what we all should do. When entire communities

lose their sense of safety and belonging, it

breaks something in all of us. I hope that you'll

all stand with us tonight.

I know we're not in America right now, but we

are with our community and we love you. I'd

like to dedicate this song to everyone who is

suffering, to everyone who's feeling alone and

helpless. Anyone who's lost a loved one and

is having a difficult time, an impossible time

seeing when the end will be near. We need to

get back to a place of safety and peace and

accountability. Good people shouldn't have to

fight so hard and risk their lives for well-being

and respect. And I hope, I hope our leaders

are listening. I hope you are listening to us.

Ask you to change your course of action swiftly

and have mercy on everyone in our country.

At a time where it doesn't feel like it's easy

to have hope, it is my community and my friends,

my family that hold me up. So, I would like

to sing a song that does have some hope in it,

to try to give us a little bit tonight. This

is Come to Mama. Everybody's

got to love each other. Stop throwing stones

at your sisters and your brothers.
