about

At the core of Neil Young's catalog is the belief that art has the power to transform the world around us: whether he is speaking truth to power, highlighting the injustices he sees in our society, or using his platform to elevate the voices of those who are not as fortunate as himself, Young has come to signify a certain kind of relentless optimism in the face of a very harsh reality.

Right now, we sorely need this sort of optimism. The Trump administration's commitment to denigrating, brutalizing, and criminalizing immigrants has reached a fever pitch with the family separation policy. Although the practice of family separation has reportedly been halted, there are still thousands of children that have been lost by DHA (www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2019/02/09/separation-immigrant-families-trump-thousands-column/2805714002/) and thousands of children who have reported being sexually abused in immigration detention (www.nytimes.com/2019/02/27/us/immigrant-children-sexual-abuse.html). The families who have been the subject of this zero-tolerance policy have been subject to profound traumas and often have few support systems with which to begin to heal and seek justice for the harm which has been done.

When it seems like the world is too hateful and too unjust for an individual to make an impact, I have turned to Young's powerful reminder:

Don't let it bring you down/
It's only castles burning/
find someone who's turning/
and you will come around
