I had such a great time on Saturday at the Jefferson Memorial and I can’t wait to see all the videos that were taken at the event! Hundreds of people gathered at noon to peacefully protest the state aggression that took place the week before when five people were arrested at the memorial for silently dancing. Fifty-plus people were there yesterday dancing inside the memorial, and hundreds were gathered outside supporting them and taking video. I was armed with flyers promoting my new song, State Free Dance, and I managed to get the lyrics into the hands of hundreds of people. View a PDF of the flyer here. Jason Talley and Rob Nair were there taking video and Eddie Freeman broadcasted a livestream on Talley.TV. Here’s a photo of me, Jason and Rob taken by Eddie Freeman right before the dance party at the memorial:
The coolest part of the event for me was hearing my song amplified on the steps outside the memorial, with a hundred or more people enthusiastically singing along! I felt connected with everyone around me at that point, and it was inspiring to see people responding to my lyrics in such a positive way. The crowd seemed to enjoy the autonomous sentiment of the song, and proudly sang along to phrases such as “peace is not a crime,” “we’re not under your control,” and “liberty is our goal.” Video soon to come.
