In 2012 I woke to the alarming sound of a proverbial Election Train …

Having never paid much attention to politics — that imaginary “Train” was a political “coming of age” for me –

My worries are always best addressed through my work – so – I asked my all female production crew to join me on pausing pre-production of my feature length indie movie + album – “eVe N’god this female is not yet rated ™”© – a movie + soundtrack (my debut album) that would go on to be an Oscars 2020 Contender — in order to speak up for voting rights and for democracy …

We felt so very strongly — that this nation NEEDED President Obama … so we made this music video in the hopes we might contribute somehow …

Today – we hear that the GOP + Conservatives are once again actively rabidly attacking Democracy + CRUCIAL DEMOCRATIC and FAMILY VALUES :

voting rights, civil rights, human rights, nature, wildlife, sealife rights, clean water, clean air, economic justice, opportunity, education and even healthcare —

attacking decency

and on our beloved Mother Earth

Once again, we offer my music video

as the ringing of an alarm

A prayer

A plea for everyone in America to speak up for voting rights

To speak up for democracy

To speak up for each other

Amen
