How I Long for Peace
Rhiannon Giddens, Crys Matthews, and Resistance Revival Chorus reimagine folk icon Peggy Seeger's “How I Long for Peace” as a powerful call for community and civic engagement in partnership with Joy to the Polls and HeadCount.
This and every election season, we get a chance to show up at the polls and vote the world *we* want to see closer to existence – a more just and peaceful society envisioned in this incantation of a song. We dedicate this recording to survivors and victims of war, injustice, and poverty everywhere.
The second single off of Reclamation is out now!

CHANGEMAKERS
named IFMA 2021 SONG OF THE YEAR
A powerful lyricist whose songs of compassionate dissent reflect her lived experience as what she lightheartedly calls "the poster-child for intersectionality," Crys Matthews is made for these times, and her new, hope-fueled, love-filled social justice album Changemakers is a resounding affirmation of that fact.
