Amidst the heartbreak of this moment, let us sing. We sing to stand with Palestine, we sing to end racialized violence and to stand for the safety of Black lives, and we sing for the waters and the trees. We sing our joy, too. We let our bodies sound, move, and dance, as people have for millennia. Song is glue. It is fuel. It is medicine.
