Every revolution has a song.  Songs during the South African anti-apartheid movement were phenomenal at rallying the people of South Africa and the world, to unite to transform South Africa into a more just nation.  Today, Africa is facing another challenge: climate change. Africa is the most climate vulnerable continent in the world. People are being forced off their homelands due to drought, increased desertification and a wide array of other human induced climate threats.  And this crazy weather is impacting us all.

Respecting the power of song and radio to reach people far and wide, 350.org, an international campaign dedicated to building awareness about climate change, collaborated with musicians like Green Jar favorites Talib Kweli, Zap Mama, Angelique Kidjo, Ahmed Soultan and amazing South African artists like Jabba from Hip Hop Pantsula and Zolani from Freshly Ground to create “People Power” a song about the climate crisis.  Radio stations throughout Africa and the world will be playing this song and connecting people to resources and solutions to the crisis. This sound will be amplified by DJs and musicians throughout the world who are remixing the song to share in their own countries and radio stations. Because we’re all in this together – we need a global movement to tackle a global crisis!
