Four million young people will be able to vote for the first time this year — non-profit and for Rock the Votethe Democracy Summer of 2020 concert on the 18th of June, this fact was repeated by many of the speakers and artists in the alignment. The organization uses this virtual event to launch his crucial call to action: vote in November. And, among those who attended was Katy Perry, who, wearing an American flag dress, and for a diadem of stars, honored us with a performance.
With “Vote the change you want to see”, written on the screen behind her, Perry sang her latest hit, “Daises”, and “Roar” and “Chained to the Rhythm.” These songs each one seems to be very important and more decisive in its positioning. “Daises” and “Roar” preaching self-empowerment, and about the increase in the face of adversity to find the strength. “Chained to the Rhythm”, literally, says: “So comfortable, we are living in a bubble, bubble. So comfortable, you can’t see the problem, a problem”. Despite the fact that it was released in the year 2017, the letter should be an indication that now is your time to wake up and use your vote to combat the problem that you see in this country.
As Senator Cory Booker said in his video after Perry’s performance, “If you are dealing with the justice in the police; the treatment with the true ideals of the public safety, that are not about the application of the law, it’s about investing in people, investing in the care of mental health, the investment in the addiction to drugs, the investment in education . . . all of these things are on the ballot. This is, in fact, the most important election of our life”.
Follow the live stream above. Perry arrives two hours and 15 minutes, but if you watch the whole virtual concert, hosted by actors Rosario Dawson and Logan Browning, you will also see a poignant poem of 16 years Nyarae Francisco; appearances by Saweetie, Dove Cameron and The Black Eyed Peas; as well as the speeches of activists of the struggle for racial justice.
