Springsteen in L.A.:
‘Take a Stand for This Land’
LOS ANGELES, April 9 — Bruce Springsteen is touring the country with a message of hope and defiance against the Trump Administration. He plays tonight at the Kia Center in Los Angeles, where he is expected to give a shout-out to our city’s immigrant defenders, including the National Day Laborer Organizing Network (NDLON).
The following is a statement from Pablo Alvarado, NDLON’s Co-Executive Director:
“Thank you, Bruce Springsteen, for lending your poetry and power to the people’s struggle. Music is one of the mightiest weapons we have against tyranny. A song is a small thing – but the right songs at the right time can help to undo even the most repressive regimes. In this time of calamity, with our democracy under grave threat, we’re grateful that you are working to unite and inspire us and to show us a path away from hatred and violence and toward love, hope and solidarity.
“Or, as your song “The Streets of Minneapolis” says, in fewer words: ‘ICE Out Now! Ice Out Now! ICE Out Now!’
