“Hold On” is a cry out for those feeling a sense of desperation in their pursuit of the “American Dream” and the rapidly changing face of our planet. “Hold On” is a cry for the 99% to band together and stand up against corporate greed, racism and the growing injustice of financial inequality. Alone with our computers we are isolated in our digital silos and weakened by the corporations who seek to control, monetize and exploit our very existence. Only by physically coming together with respect for all people are we strong enough to preserve what is left of our dignity as a nation on the world's stage and the essence from which it was born.
This video is dedicated to all the children of the world and in particular my daughter Trudie Rose Gordon whose shining light and relentless prodding saw me through to completion.
