“You’ve Got a Friend”
in solidarity with Black Lives Matter
Singers from the West End and around the world come together in an anti-racism video to say “You’ve Got a Friend” in 22 different languages, and raise money for the
Jewish Council for Racial Equality (JCORE).
A new initiative conceived and produced by The JEWish Cabaret in solidarity with Black Lives Matter (BLM). The video went live on Monday, 18 January to mark Martin Luther King Jr. Day. The project will be raising funds for JCORE, and features 25 performers from around the world singing in 22 different languages including Yoruba, Farsi, Thai, British Sign Language (BSL), and many others.
As the world continues to struggle with the new reality presented by COVID-19, it is crucial that action for racial justice and support for Black Lives Matter is sustained. This initiative seeks to stress that Black lives still matter and will always matter, and that allyship and active anti-racism must be an ongoing and long-term commitment. There is more work that needs to be done, and this work needs to be supported by people from all backgrounds.

Musical Director: Inga Davis Rutter
Sound: Shar Shamai & Stephanos Costantinos
