Rise Against arguably merits a round of applause from the community today after the rock band premiered its latest music video in support of the "It Gets Better" project. Watch the moving video for "Make It Stop (September's Children)" after the jump (and grab the nearest box of tissue)...
From the press release:
"The It Gets Better Project and Rise Against shift the spotlight to bullying via "Make it Stop (September's Children)," a topic Rise Against lead-singer Tim McIlrath says really hasn't been adequately addressed in the rock scene. "A number of events were the catalyst for the creation of Make It Stop, everything from the suicides in September 2010, to our own fans voicing their fears and insecurities from time to time," says McIlrath. "I decided to create the song as a response, and when I discovered the It Gets Better campaign and [It Gets Better Project co-founder] Dan Savage's commitment to such an important and concise message, I was moved. I immediately felt that if our song is the road, then the It Gets Better campaign is the destination. I hope the synergy between the two can reach people and make a difference."
