Kesha Drops Hymn Video: Watch Here

Kesha has announced her new partnership with United We Dream, the country’s largest immigrant youth organization.

The organization works to protect and empower DREAMers who came to the U.S. as children and who now face deportation with the end of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.

In a message posted to Facebook, Kesha explained she was inspired to get involved after meeting co-founder Cristina Jimenez at the TIME 100 Gala in April.

“I am partnering up with United We Dream to shine a light on the organization, and I wanted to encourage anyone and everyone to donate even just a moment of your time to learn about what’s going on with DACA, donate a dollar if you feel compelled, or simply be open to learning about what’s happening to the people behind the statistics,” Kesha writes.

She also released the music video for her song “Hymn,” off of her latest album Rainbow, which is all about being a misfit in society, in conjunction with the partnership.

The video features her in the back of a convertible as it cruises down the desert highway where she meets a group of DREAMers and they join together in hopes of a better future.

“At my shows, I dedicate my song ‘Hymn’ to DREAMers because I don’t believe that people who came to this country as children should be punished by potentially having their families torn apart if they haven’t done anything wrong,” Kesha says.

She adds, “As I say in ‘Hymn’, we are all ‘Dreamers searching for the truth,’ and I hope you will stand with me to fight for the DREAMers.”

Kesha released Rainbow last August. On June 6th, the singer will kick off a massive North American tour with co-headliner Macklemore.
