I wrote a song for the 6 month anniversary of the Christchurch Terror Attacks.
Me and Jono will be travelling to Ōtautahi to share it in the form of a show at the end of the month.

I wrote it as a challenge to myself to keep having conversations about how to oppose racism, and how to keep showing love, making friends and taking action.
My personal safety is never compromised by white supremacy, racism or the ongoing effects of colonisation.
If you're in a similar position, then this song is an invitation to continue to make a place in your life for these difficult thoughts, feelings, questions and conversations.
Calling out 'socially acceptable' White Supremacy is a hugely important everyday action to take.
Look for examples of this near the bottom of The Pyramid of White Supremacy: facebook.com/EqualityInstitute/photos/a.948646858564190/1888341804594686/?type=3&theater
All proceeds from the sales of this song will go to the Our People Our City fund set up by the Christchurch Foundation, to support victims' families and the Muslim community.

Don't hold it too tight, don't push it away. Let it stay.
Nga Mihi,
Finn Johansson
