Melissa Etheridge: Ring the Bells

Between the horrible Florida court decision and Banned Books Week, I’ve been feeling a lot of angst this week. What better way to dispel it than a new video about peace by high-profile lesbian mom Melissa Etheridge, which she made with Pakistani musician Salman Ahmad?

They created it for Search for Common Ground, a non-profit organization that works to transform the way the world deals with conflict. The video was produced by TakePart.com, a cause-related social networking site. Find out more at http://www.takepart.com/sfcg.

No, a song by itself can’t create change. But it can inspire us to do so.
