Many people around the world are calling for the government of Pakistan to release the leader of the Awami Action Committee now, along with all of his unjustly-imprisoned colleagues.

I had never heard of Ehsan Ali, or the Awami Action Committee, or, to be honest, the region of Pakistan known as Gilgit-Baltistan, where Ehsan Ali is from.

After Ali's arrest, two months ago now, I began to hear from his supporters, who have embarked on a serious campaign to bring international attention to the state repression Ali and the Awami Action Committee are currently facing, with so many of the movement leaders having been jailed, and held in deplorable conditions, with Ali being denied vital medical care.

No one who is protesting and engaging in civil disobedience on behalf of their people's ability to afford to eat should be persecuted like Ali is being persecuted. I was glad to see that people around the world are taking up this cause, and once they brought it to my attention, I wrote this song in the hope that it might help amplify their efforts.

The latest album from the Ai Tsuno Project to drop on the streaming platforms is BEFORE THE WAR. Here we have an audio tour of the album.

Audio interview with political singer-songwriter David Rovics originally broadcast on March 3, 2026 on Transformation Highway with John Malkin on KZSC 88.1 FM / kzsc.org at the University of California Santa Cruz.

You probably won't find a better hour-long primer on the US-Israeli war on Iran than this guided tour of our new album, Epstein Empire. (And you surely won't find one that rhymes as much as this one does.)

The brilliant Ron Placone interviewed me on the occasion of St. Patrick's Day 2026 for his One Thousand Podcast. We talked about all kinds of things, with an emphasis on the St. Patrick Battalion.

Mostly songs from Insurrection Act, the album.
