Medea Benjamin(@medeabenjamin):Pink once asked President George W. Bush, “How do you sleep while the rest of us cry?” In Dear Mr. President, she used her platform to challenge war, destruction, and the suffering of families caught in the consequences of U.S. policy. So we have a question: What happened? When Macklemore said “Free Palestine” and spoke out against the killing and suffering of Palestinians, while explicitly rejecting antisemitism, Pink reposted an attack on him. Artists have enormous platforms. Pink understood that when she challenged the Iraq War. Macklemore understands it today. Pink, we want the artist who challenged power back.
