Suffragettes Videos

Are You A Citizen (Or Are You A Slave) is an anthem salute to struggle that is done in strident Cajun waltz style. The song challenges citizen apathy and cynicism. It confronts the notion that we cannot change anything by citing the historical record of struggle that says otherwise. Colonialism, slavery, and debtor prisons have been defeated, and a Bill of Rights, the right to organize unions, civil rights, and voting rights were all won through struggle. As Thomas Paine once said, "Rights are not gifts from one man to another, nor from one class of men to another." Rights are inalienable and not granted by the political powers that be. "Use your Bill of Rights 'til your struggles are won!"
