Grammy-winning and nine-time Oscar nominated songwriter Diane Warren and Grammy nominated singer/songwriter Andra Day have joined forces with the social media platform indi.com to launch a call to action to help raise funds and support the efforts of non-profit organizations and causes around the world. Warren’s Oscar nominated song “Stand Up for Something” from the feature Marshall, performed by Day and the co-songwriter Common, will serve as the musical foundation for the challenge; the anthem’s powerful and inspiring lyrics speak to the respect and dignity of standing up for “what you got in your heart.” To participate in the call to action, the public can go to here; then submit or share a video or a photo of what they #standupfor.
Warren’s songs have long been embraced as anthems for groundbreaking movements—educating girls globally, supporting survivors of sexual assault, supporting humanitarian efforts in war and crisis zones, protection of animals and advocating for other human rights and social justice campaigns. “Stand Up for Something” was recently performed at the Women’s March by Day. The song is being adopted by non-profits worldwide.
Warren is honored her song is part of this movement, “I am thrilled that ‘Stand Up for Something’ is making such an impact. Right now more than ever, we need to stand up for what we believe in and what we know is right. I’m very excited to have joined forces with Andra Day, Indi.com and others for this amazing call to action. I cannot wait to see what people around the world will create to have their voices.”
