That is Memotan, the main character in our 2 shows at an Osaka elementary school. One of the most inspiring, heart warming & hopeful shows ever. We performed for about 360 kids & I gave a short statement about working together can solve the most complex problems in the world. Absolutely amazing.🌏🌳🎶

@billmckibben.bsky.social This song should be on the list...
you've heard it but not sure you saw the video. We recruited more than 2,500 young people across the world to sing the chorus & 10 award winning vocalists sing on the verses. We built a campaign around the song.

When's the last time you heard someone running for office talk about the need for musicians to earn a living wage, so the arts aren't just a luxury only a wealthy, well-connected few get to enjoy?

Art can't just be a luxury for the few. That requires a city where artists can actually afford to live and create, and where musicians don't just receive recognition but fair pay.

That's what @local802.bsky.social organizes for and I'm so proud to have their endorsement.

More than 1,000 of the kids who sang on the Be Cool Song video are from Nigeria. We learned that many of the rural schools have no electricity. So, we decided to launch an effort to provide solar…

In June 2022, I helped organize a songwriting workshop leading to a 3 year journey, recruiting >2600 kids to sing the chorus of a great song & then...we installed a solar energy system providing power for Wisdom Academy, a 12 classroom school in Warri, Delta State, Nigeria. Wow

On June 14—Flag Day—Donald Trump wants tanks in the street and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday. A spectacle meant to look like strength. But real power isn’t staged in Washington. ...

It is a crime to deny due process.
Our government is committing heinous crimes.

EarthX was a smashing success. Brant Miller & I performed “I Wanna Be Cool“ & screened the music video during every evening banquet. People were hooting & hollering, so much positivity. All of it inspiring!
We might have moved a few baby steps to actually being… cool. 😎

To the world:
We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom.

I'll be playing a few songs tonight to mark the lies that will be told in the Address to Congress.

We the People will host community gatherings across the country, to bring people together in reflection, action, and solidarity.

I’m saying stop blaming and start doing. We, the majority, are facing widespread voter suppression and possible vote tampering. The largest segment of potential voters do not vote. This was not about MAGA. It was about the more of us getting engaged.
