Here is a song for stopping an ongoing genocide, for marching while mourning, for making our grief an intervention. Feel free to adapt the lyrics as needed for actions and vigils far and wide.

This recording is of the first public community event at which I got to lead this song. It was an incredibly powerful interfaith vigil led by a coalition of workers in Chicago organizing weekly vigil actions for Gaza. This action was specifically sponsored by Cultural Workers for Palestine Chicago and Healthcare Workers for Palestine Chicago. It was hosted by St. Lukes / Grace Church in Logan Square. Faith leaders from Lutheran, Sikh, Muslim, Jewish, and Unitarian communities all spoke along with doctors, museum workers, tech workers, and others. I got to offer this song for participatory singing halfway through the program, giving the crowd of perhaps 200 a chance to collectively voice and experience a needed emotional release. I'm so grateful for the experience, and for this recording of it.

Thank you for listening and for doing your part to keep the movement moving. Ceasefire Now. Free Palestine.

*One Love*
- Adam G
