CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Pink and her crew have lent their support to the “One Billion Rising for Justice’’ campaign against bullying and bigotry.
The effervescent singer today released a video of her and her crew – dancers, roadies, everyone – dancing to the campaign’s anthem, “Break the Chain.’’
It’s a dynamic performance, and clearly heartfelt. That comes through in a statement from Pink that accompanied the release of the video:
"I have never liked bullies of any kind. Whether it's someone picking on the ‘fat’ kid, the ‘retarded’ kid, the ‘short’ kid, the ‘black’ kid, the ‘Asian’ kid, the ‘gay’ kid, the ‘girl,’ cause she ‘hits like a girl’ or is the ‘weaker sex.’
“You name it. Different ‘reasons,’ same ‘bully.’ The bully is the problem. The bully needs a hug, a lesson, enlightenment. The bully is the one that really feels inferior, so he/she picks on someone else to make that person feel inferior, too.
“When I read about this organization, how people get together of their own free will and dance, use their bodies, to express their rage- outrage- around the injustice that women feel all over the world, every day -- I was inspired. . . . We are all equally deserving of respect and personal space. I will fight for that right for all of us.’’
