New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Over the past weeks, the nation has seen the impact that a single vote can make. We witnessed the results of action being taken and in turn welcomed President-elect, Joe Biden, and while change may be around the corner, the issue of climate change and pollution remains at the forefront.
In response, poet, singer/songwriter, and grandmother of seven, Lisa Rafel penned and recorded the global awareness spoken word, new-age song "Now Is The Time" featuring
Lili Haydn and Itai Disraeli from the Grammy Award™ winning band Opium Moon. Along with the single release, is the release of the "Now Is The Time" video via Nashville-based record label United Alliance
Music Group (UAMG) and its affiliates Sony Music/The Orchard.
Lisa Rafel states: "Now is the time to act, to ask wise elders and young passionate people to come together - it's time to raise awareness, to bridge oppositional thinking, to support solutions and help everyone to understand that fostering pollution is not a livelihood, it is the devastation of health and well-being for all future generations".
"Now is the Time" Is a powerful song and video that emotionally connects to the depth of the pollution crisis and asks, what can we all do to solve it? Rafel hopes this video and song moves people to action, specifically regarding the upcoming Georgia U.S. Senate runoff election. Now more than ever, it is crucial that positions of power be held by individuals who care about the future of this planet. Her website includes links to environmental organizations, Georgia voter information, and how to contribute before the upcoming run-off election.
