The Movement by Alphabet Rockers
“We have to act as if it were possible to radically transform the world. And we have to do it all the time.” Angela Y. Davis
GRAMMY-Winning album THE MOVEMENT is a soundtrack for a reimagined world of belonging and justice. Building on their mission to make music that makes change, Alphabet Rockers crafted this 13-song album with the children in their collective, sparking listeners to connect their heads and hearts as we find unity in community. The songwriters reflect on real moments from their lives, and the youth ask the world to listen: “It’s our turn to speak up and be heard. Because our voices matter.” THE MOVEMENT is written for the whole family to understand their power, break biases, disrupt systems of oppression, and find community care. And "When it’s all said and done - the word is LOVE.” It’s a vibe, it’s the heart. It’s The Movement.
