WATCH: Melissa Etheridge's Politically Charged Video for 'Uprising of Love'
Rocker and activist Melissa Etheridge has released the video for her single "Uprising of Love.” The video is intended to create awareness about the many countries around the world where LGBT people continue to face harassment, arrest, violence, and even death,” according to release.
Proceeds from sales of the single, which Etheridge debuted in December at the Uprising of Love launch, go to the Russian Freedom Fund, which makes direct contributions to LGBT Russian activists.
“At this unique moment in history, when we are seeing such rapid progress in the fight for equality in the West, we cannot be blinded to appalling crimes against humanity elsewhere,” reads a statement on Uprising of Love’s website. “Today in Russia, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex (LGBTI) people are facing harassment, arrest and violence under a set of horrific new laws. For their sake, we must come together and start an uprising of love.”
