This is a recent revision of the song “America For the People” which was written for voting rights and the “For the People Act.” It has now been updated to apply to the MAGA attacks on our democracy.

Democracy is under siege:
the freedoms we hold dear
imperiled by Republicans
through lies and hate and fear
America, America,
the right-wing plans are grim
Unite and fight for all our rights!
Together we must win!

They’re racists and misogynists
They foster violence
they’re tearing down our nation, and
it’s getting pretty tense
America, America,
don’t let the haters win!
Unite and fight for all our rights!
Together we must win!

Let’s come together, rally ‘round –
democracy’s at stake!
We need a landslide victory
right now, for freedom’s sake!
America, America,
our healing must begin
Unite and fight for all our rights!
Together we must win!
