Some wounds never heal—they ignite.

"Still Not Gone," our new anthem, traces America's recurring nightmares from Kent State to January 6th, connecting atrocities that many would prefer we forget. This episode reveals why we created this musical indictment of those who betrayed America's promise.

The song begins with the 1970 Kent State massacre, where Nixon's National Guard killed four students for opposing the Vietnam War. We journey through the 40-year Tuskegee experiment, where government doctors watched Black men die from untreated syphilis; through Hurricane Katrina, where families drowned while officials watched from television screens; through Flint, where children drank poisoned water for years while officials denied responsibility. We name those accountable: Thomas Parran, Michael Brown, Rick Snyder, Colin Powell, Dick Cheney, Donald Trump, Stephen Miller, and the 147 members of Congress who voted to overturn an election hours after blood dried on the Capitol steps.

These aren't isolated incidents but a pattern of betrayal. When power faces accountability, it responds first with denial, then with distraction, finally with attempts to erase history itself. Our anthem refuses this erasure. We name names because memory is resistance.

"You can jail the voice, but not the fight. Burn the truth, but it won't die," we sing, because while they can break individuals, they cannot break us all when we stand together. These wounds don't heal naturally—they require justice, truth, and collective action.

Listen to our full performance of "Still Not Gone" and join us in refusing to look away from America's darkest chapters. Share this anthem with those who need to hear that they're not alone in their outrage, their grief, or their determination to build something better from the ashes of what's been betrayed.

America is not in decline by accident. It’s not failing because of a single leader, a bad election, or a sudden wave of division. We’re witnessing a deliberate, coordinated erosion, fueled by six forces eating away at democracy from the inside out.

This campaign, From the Ashes: The Counteroffensive, is our response.

We’re not chasing headlines—we’re naming names, decoding strategies, and equipping citizens to fight back. This isn’t resistance by outrage—it’s resistance by design.

Here we expose the six interlocking forces behind America’s democratic backslide and explain why understanding them is the first step toward reclaiming power.

Because truth, decency, and integrity are not partisan—they're inherited.

An Intimate Conversation with Mika of Barking Justice Music. In this powerful recorded conversation, Mika Douglas - founder of Barking Justice Music shares the deep personal roots of the protest anthems that have begun echoing across a divided nation.

Set against the backdrop of growing political instability and cultural amnesia, this dialogue reflects on the values we were raised with in the 1950s and ‘60s: honesty, humility, integrity, and compassion. Mika recalls a time when decency was expected, not exceptional, and when everyday Americans felt connected by more than just shared hardship. Through stories of her childhood and the music born from memory and resistance, this conversation becomes more than an interview, it’s a call to reclaim our better angels. Paired with the raw emotion and grit of Barking Justice protest anthems, “Reviving Values Through Protest Music” explores how storytelling and music can light the path forward. It’s not just about remembering who we were, it’s about reminding America who we can still become. This is for those who still believe in truth. Who still believes in country? Who refuse to stay silent?
