Saluting Political Activist Roger Waters
In the world of rock and roll, it’s hard to think of anyone who has been more committed to activism than Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters.
Over the years, and especially within the past decade, Waters has supported matters as diverse as Palestinian rights, Black Lives Matter, relief after Indian Ocean earthquake/tsunami, justice for Chelsea Manning, opposition to Brexit, stopping construction of the wall at the U.S. southern border, opposition to Brazilian neo-fascist Jair Bolsonaro, the release of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, environmental litigation against Chevron, and support of Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn.
My hat’s off to him, and to creative genius who dreamed up the Christmas decoration here.
