Welcome back to Sound Pollution. Its Mother’s Day in America and in response to the probable over-turn of Roe V. Wade Sound Pollution is taking part in the Mother’s Day Strike (https://www.mothersdaystrike.com/) and will NOT be releasing a new interview episode. We do try to stay away from politics on our show. However, we believe this is a social issue and is a direct assault on women. We are not open to debating this. Raynelle will not be promoting, or responding to emails, or direct messages, or any other inquiries, for the next 7 days. We would appreciate your patience, understanding, and support during this time. We are going to play some music by women who have been guests on the show, alongside some other notable songs. But first, Raynelle would like you to remember this poem by Pastor Martin Niemöller
First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me
Thank You & Make Some Noise
