Not An Option, by elizaBeth Simpson

About the Song: This song speaks to what I think when I hear folks say that white people don't have to do racial justice work because it doesn't affect them.

About the Artist:  Simpson has been singing and chanting for racial justice since 1999, and is grateful in specific to Curtis Muhammad and Dr. Ruth Nicole Brown for their visionary mentorship. elizaBeth kicked off the Urbana, IL chapter of SURJ in 2013, and is happy to say that, fueled by the dedication of Abby Schrantz, in November their chapter is celebrating six months of holding weekly #endwhitesilence events in their small and mighty town.
