Neil Young calls on artists from across the music industry to highlight the plight of immigrant children at the U.S. border, using the children's own words published in court filings.
Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Neil Young is calling on artists from across the music industry to highlight the plight of immigrant children at the U.S. border, using the children's own words published in court filings.
"We are reaching out to you as musicians and artists who will embrace their stories with humility, openness, and respect, and find a way within the music community ... to amplify their voices and elevate the truth," Young wrote."We believe that music is universal and the best manner in which these accounts can be shared and heard throughout the world," Young's message continues.
An 11-year-old child from Ecuador came with two younger siblings, aged 9 and 7, before they were separated from their father. U.S. border officials said the facilities were never designed to hold children for long periods of time and that they were overwhelmed by the tens of thousands of undocumented migrants arriving each month.
