Known for using her voice both on and off the stage, Shawna talks about the responsibility and urgency of calling out political overreach and using music as a platform to spotlight critical issues.

Shawna shares the personal and societal layers behind the song, and how it fits into the band’s ongoing mission to create music that doesn’t shy away from hard conversations.
