Gassie Dread, alongside Empress Maria, is sending a powerful message to the youth of Antigua with their recent call to action: “Put it down.” This phrase embodies the idea that music can serve as a transformative force, one that advocates for peace and unity rather than conflict.
Prime Minister Gaston Browne echoes their sentiments, highlighting that the true adversaries are climate change, poverty, and an unjust global system that places a heavy burden on small island nations. Together, they implore the youth to "Rise up," urging them to protect the earth, nurture each other, and pave the way for a future where Antigua stands out as a model for others.
Their message is clear: “Put it down. Pick up the future.” It is a call to shift away from violence and hatred, to reject the divisive forces within society that threaten to tear communities apart. An emphasis is placed on refraining from violence and instead fostering an atmosphere of support and cooperation.
Gassie Dread and Empress Maria are not just making music; they are igniting change and encouraging the younger generations to become stewards of the planet and champions for a united community, inspiring a legacy of hope and responsibility.
