Campaigning for human rights in the age of the internet

Political Songs

I heard a song sung by Roy Bailey some years ago and now with the aid of the internet I have found out more about it. The song is called I Ain't Afraid and it was written by Holly Near in 2000.  I Ain't Afraid is a song standing up against wrong that it is done in the name of religion. A line that is repeated is: "I'm afraid of what you do in the name of your God". Roy Bailey sings other political songs by various other writers including Leon Rosselson.

While you’re here…

Like you, we are horrified by the violence and the civilian death toll in Gaza, Israel and the rest of the Occupied Palestinian Territories. We’re calling for an immediate ceasefire by all parties in the occupied Gaza Strip and Israel to prevent further loss of civilian lives. Amnesty International is investigating mass summary killings, indiscriminate and disproportionate attacks, hostage-taking, and siege tactics.

As ever, our mission to protect human rights remains. Please donate today to help expose war crimes and protect human rights. Thank you.
