Every social justice movement has a song that serves as an anthem for the movement. Why is there no anthem for the climate movement? Critically acclaimed drag queen and vocalist Pattie Gonia joined 19-time Grammy award-winning cellist Yo-Yo Ma and Indigenous trans musician and Tiny Desk Contest winner Quinn Christopherson to write a climate change anthem.
‘Won't Give Up’ is a song about not giving up on this planet and not giving up on each other. The three artists traveled to Alaska (Christopherson’s native lands) to create a music video for ‘Won’t Give Up’ and performed the track in front of Holgate and Exit Glaciers - two glaciers that are dying because of climate change.
