Farm Aid’s mission is to build a vibrant, family farm-centered system of agriculture in America. Farm Aid artists and board members Willie Nelson, Neil Young, John Mellencamp, Dave Matthews and Margo Price host an annual festival to raise funds to support Farm Aid’s work with family farmers and to inspire people to choose family farm food. For more than 35 years, Farm Aid, with the support of the artists who contribute their performances each year, has raised more than $70 million to support programs that help farmers thrive, expand the reach of the Good Food Movement, take action to change the dominant system of industrial agriculture and promote food from family farms.

Wait..so I should wish to return to having a black skin? Why? Am I not supposed to have all that "white priviledge" now? Why would I wish to give that up? 🤣 There is no end to the illogic of woke nor their ability to hold two opposing views in their heads without realising even that they are opposing. Good singer though and the tune itself is good. Ashame there are such ridiculous lyrics put to it. Not to mention that "Eve" is a character invented ...not an existing person. And invented by a people who weren't black.

Look up Mitochondrial Eve, since you think it's just a story.
