STAND by SLY and the FAMILY STONE
The Protest Song on how the World Felt back then is still Relevant Today:
Read the Lyrics:
Stand!"
Stand
In the end you'll still be you
One that's done all the things you set out to do
Stand
There's a cross for you to bear
Things to go through if you're going anywhere
Stand
For the things you know are right
It s the truth that the truth makes them so uptight
Stand
All the things you want are real
You have you to complete and there is no deal
Stand. stand, stand
Stand. stand, stand
Stand
You've been sitting much too long
There's a permanent crease in your right and wrong
Stand
There's a midget standing tall
And the giant beside him about to fall
Stand. stand, stand
Stand. stand, stand
Stand
They will try to make you crawl
And they know what you're saying makes sense and all
Stand
Don't you know that you are free
Well at least in your mind if you want to be
Everybody
Stand, stand, stand

Afrika Bambaataa relaunches "My Sweet Lord" by former Beatle George Harrison to comfort the heart of the Planet
Hip Hop Movement
My Sweet Lord", a classic that became one of the anthems of the 1970s, marked by wars, dictatorships and new musical styles, after having participated in the original version of the film "Guardians of the Galaxy – Vol 2" (2017), by James Gunn, now reborn through the productions of AFRIKA BAMBAATAA...
Bambaataa is a singer, songwriter, music producer, DJ and throughout his existence as a Cultural activist dedicated his mission as promoter of Peace through HIP-HOP.
During the 1970s Bambaataa contributed to the "decriminalization" of his native neighborhood, the Bronx, in New York, uniting urban dance [Breakdance], local musicians [DJ and MC] and street plastic art [Graffiti] idealizing HIP-HOP as a Cultural Movement and since then has never stopped. Around the same time, a year before HIP-HOP, he founded a humanitarian activism organization – Universal Zulu Nation – now present in several countries, including Brazil. In 1982, his sound creation – "Planet Rock" – as well as a HIP-HOP classic, became the raw material for the emergence of electronic rhythms such as Detroit's "Techno"; the "Latin Freestyle"
promoted and supported shows and events to raise funds for "Anti-Apartheid" campaigns such as the releases of "Nelson Mandela and "Mumia Abu-Jamal". In 2001, alongside the mothers of Notorious BIG – Mrs. "Voletta Wallace – and Tupac Shakur" – Ms. "Afeni Shakur" – as well as other HIP-HOP personalities such as "KRS-One", she presented before UN leaders the "Universal Charter of Peace of HIP-HOP", a document that seals the HIP-HOP Cultural Movement as responsible for promoting World Peace, especially among young people. His pacifist vision of transforming the streets of the Bronx into a relaxed and violence-free space, making it possible for opinions and fun to be expressed, provided his nomination for the "Nobel Peace Prize" in 2010.
And since "Covid-19" became, until then, a virus unknown to science manifesting itself earlier this year as a serious lung disease in hundreds of people around the world, with China as its initial milestone, and successively the United States, Taiwan, Thailand, Japan, South Korea, Macau, Italy and Brazil, Afrika Bambaataa's desire to contribute to healing come through Love , peace and the union of human beings gained special meaning through the remake of "My Sweet Lord", a 1970s classic of the former Beatle "George Harrison"....
Synopsis! The voice of time, Unidos de Padre Miguel defines plot 2021
Composed of Catholic and converted to Hinduism, "My Sweet Lord" became harrison the trademark in the declaration of his spirituality. In it, contrasting abstentions from the Judeo-Christian term "Hallelujah" – meaning "Praise God" – and the Hindu term "Hare Krishna" – which translates into devotion to Lord Krishna, and has become for AFRIKA BAMBAATAA the most appropriate song for the occasion, while the world yearns for healing.... The new version of "My Sweet Lord" in the voice of "BC Netto" is available on the "SoundCloud" platform for all those who wish to find inspiration to elevate their faith to God, regardless of their religious choice...
Wake up HIP-HOP!!
Durante os anos 1970 Bambaataa contribuiu para a “descriminalização” do seu bairro natal, o Bronx, em Nova York, unindo a dança urbana [Breakdance], os músicos locais [DJ e MC] e a arte plástica das ruas [Graffiti] idealizando o HIP-HOP como Movimento Cultural e desde então nunca mais parou. Nessa mesma época, um ano antes do HIP-HOP, fundou uma organização de ativismo humanitário – a Universal Zulu Nation -, hoje presente em vários países, inclusive no Brasil. Em 1982, sua criação sonora – “Planet Rock” -, além de um clássico do HIP-HOP, se tornou a matéria prima para o surgimento de ritmos eletrônicos como o “Techno” de Detroit; o “Latin Freestyle” da região Metropolitana de Nova York, conhecido no Brasil como “Funk Melody”; o “Miami Bass” de Miami e o próprio “Funk Carioca”. Através da Zulu Nation, promoveu e apoiou shows e eventos para arrecadar fundos para campanhas “Anti-Apartheid” como as libertações de “Nelson Mandela e “Mumia Abu-Jamal”. Em 2001, ao lado das mães de Notorious BIG – a Sra. “Voletta Wallace – e Tupac Shakur” – a Sra. “Afeni Shakur” -, além de outras personalidades do HIP-HOP como “KRS-One”, apresentou diante dos líderes da ONU a “Carta Universal de Paz do HIP-HOP”, documento que chancela o Movimento Cultural HIP-HOP enquanto responsável pela promoção da Paz Mundial, principalmente entre os jovens. Sua visão pacifista de transformar as ruas do Bronx em um espaço descontraído e livre da violência, tornando possível a manifestação das opiniões e da diversão proporcionou sua indicação ao “Prêmio Nobel da Paz” em 2010.
E desde que o “Covid-19” se tornou, até então, um vírus desconhecido pela ciência manifestando-se no início desse ano como uma doença pulmonar grave em centenas de pessoas pelo mundo, tendo a China como seu marco inicial, e sucessivamente Estados Unidos, Taiwan, Tailândia, Japão, Coreia do Sul, Macau, Itália e Brasil, o desejo de Afrika Bambaataa em contribuir para que a Cura venha através do Amor, da Paz e da União dos seres humanos ganhou sentido especial através do remake de “My Sweet Lord”, um clássico dos anos 1970 do ex-Beatle “George Harrison”….
Sinopse! A voz do tempo, Unidos de Padre Miguel define enredo 2021
Composta pelo católico e convertido ao hinduísmo, “My Sweet Lord” se tornou para Harrison a marca registrada na declaração da sua espiritualidade. Nela, abstenções contrastantes do termo judaico-cristão “Aleluia” – que significa “Louve a Deus” – e o termo hindu “Hare Krishna” – que traduz-se na devoção ao Senhor Krishna, e se tornou para AFRIKA BAMBAATAA a canção mais apropriada para a ocasião, enquanto o mundo anseia pela cura…. A nova versão de “My Sweet Lord”, na voz de “BC Netto” está disponível na plataforma “SoundCloud” para todos aqueles que desejarem encontrar inspiração para elevar sua fé a Deus, independentemente à sua opção religiosa…

ACLU Says Know Your Rights: Demonstrations and Protests
General guidelines
Can my free speech be restricted because of what I say—even if it is controversial?
No. The First Amendment prohibits restrictions based on the content of speech. However, this does not mean that the Constitution completely protects all types of free speech activity in every circumstance. Police and government officials are allowed to place certain nondiscriminatory and narrowly drawn "time, place and manner" restrictions on the exercise of First Amendment rights. Any such restrictions must apply to all speech regardless of its point of view.
Where can I engage in free speech activity?
Generally, all types of expression are constitutionally protected in traditional "public forums" such as streets, sidewalks and parks. In addition, your speech activity may be permitted to take place at other public locations that the government has opened up to similar speech activities, such as the plazas in front of government buildings.
What about free speech activity on private property?
The general rule is that the owners of private property may set rules limiting your free speech. If you disobey the property owner's rules, they can order you off their property (and have you arrested for trespassing if you do not comply).
Do I need a permit before I engage in free speech activity?
Not usually. However, certain types of events require permits. Generally, these events are:
• A march or parade that does not stay on the sidewalk, and other events that require blocking traffic or street closure
• A large rally requiring the use of sound amplifying devices; or
• A rally at certain designated parks or plazas
Many permit procedures require that the application be filed several weeks in advance of the event. However, the First Amendment prohibits such an advance notice requirement from being used to prevent rallies or demonstrations that are rapid responses to unforeseeable and recent events. Also, many permit ordinances give a lot of discretion to the police or city officials to impose conditions on the event, such as the route of a march or the sound levels of amplification equipment. Such restrictions may violate the First Amendment if they are unnecessary for traffic control or public safety, or if they interfere significantly with effective communication with the intended audience. A permit cannot be denied because the event is controversial or will express unpopular views.
Specific problems
If organizers have not obtained a permit, where can a march take place?
If marchers stay on the sidewalks and obey traffic and pedestrian signals, their activity is constitutionally protected even without a permit. Marchers may be required to allow enough space on the sidewalk for normal pedestrian traffic and may not maliciously obstruct or detain passers-by.
May I distribute leaflets and other literature on public sidewalks?
Yes. You may approach pedestrians on public sidewalks with leaflets, newspapers, petitions and solicitations for donations without a permit. Tables may also be set up on sidewalks for these purposes if sufficient room is left for pedestrians to pass. These types of free speech activities are legal as long as entrances to buildings are not blocked and passers-by are not physically and maliciously detained. However, a permit may be required to set up a table.
Do I have a right to picket on public sidewalks?
Yes, and this is also an activity for which a permit is not required. However, picketing must be done in an orderly, non-disruptive fashion so that pedestrians can pass by and entrances to buildings are not blocked.
Can government impose a financial charge on exercising free speech rights?
Some local governments have required a fee as a condition of exercising free speech rights, such as application fees, security deposits for clean-up, or charges to cover overtime police costs. Charges that cover actual administrative costs have been permitted by some courts. However, if the costs are greater because an event is controversial (or a hostile crowd is expected)—such as requiring a large insurance policy—then the courts will not permit it. Also, regulations with financial requirements should include a waiver for groups that cannot afford the charge, so that even grassroots organizations can exercise their free speech rights. Therefore, a group without significant financial resources should not be prevented from engaging in a march simply because it cannot afford the charges the City would like to impose.
Do counter-demonstrators have free speech rights?
Yes. Although counter-demonstrators should not be allowed to physically disrupt the event they are protesting, they do have the right to be present and to voice their displeasure. Police are permitted to keep two antagonistic groups separated but should allow them to be within the general vicinity of one another.
Does it matter if other speech activities have taken place at the same location?
Yes. The government cannot discriminate against activities because of the controversial content of the message. Thus, if you can show that similar events to yours have been permitted in the past (such as a Veterans or Memorial Day parade), then that is an indication that the government is involved in selective enforcement if they are not granting you a permit.
What other types of free speech activity are constitutionally protected?
The First Amendment covers all forms of communication including music, theater, film and dance. The Constitution also protects actions that symbolically express a viewpoint. Examples of these symbolic forms of speech include wearing masks and costumes or holding a candlelight vigil. However, symbolic acts and civil disobedience that involve illegal conduct may be outside the realm of constitutional protections and can sometimes lead to arrest and conviction. Therefore, while sitting in a road may be expressing a political opinion, the act of blocking traffic may lead to criminal punishment.
What should I do if my rights are being violated by a police officer?
It rarely does any good to argue with a street patrol officer. Ask to talk to a supervisor and explain your position to him or her. Point out that you are not disrupting anyone else's activity and that the First Amendment protects your actions. If you do not obey an officer, you might be arrested and taken from the scene. You should not be convicted if a court concludes that your First Amendment rights have been violated.
