They are offering an Album of 72 Bob Dylan songs, sung by some great artists:

from the blurb:

Chimes of Freedom features a stellar and diverse group of artists across the generational and musical spectrum. The performers, including many of Amnesty International's longtime supporters, range in age from Miley Cyrus, 19, to folk music legend Pete Seeger, who, at 92, records Dylan's poignant "Forever Young," with a children's chorus.

The diversity of the musicians and musical genres -- from rock, rap, hip-hop to pop, folk, country, jazz and blues -- attests to Amnesty's depth of support in the music community, the universal appeal of the core message of human rights, and the breadth of Dylan's impact on culture. Almost every track on the album is being released for sale for the first time* -- except for the title song, Dylan's original 1964 recording of "Chimes of Freedom."

The music is really good, and the cause is heart-stoppingly important.

2. wow

"Pete Seeger, who, at 92, records Dylan's poignant "Forever Young," with a children's chorus. "
That alone, is worth the price. Beautiful.

With AI since Tianemen Square, long before the Internet. We had to type letters on typewriters with carbon paper to free imprisoned political activists.

3. Yes, It is "easier" now. but vitally important to

keep the pressure on. When the World can know what's happening to people in the darkest corners of the most oppressive regimes, there is hope.
