Is there a song for solidarity?

The majority of the people attending Live8, and the demonstrations surrounding the G8, wanted no more nor less than to reduce poverty. But helping poor people in other countries raises problems, particularly when the language of benevolence doesn’t explain the structural issues involved.What emerged from the Live8 stage was a confused message: we are not about charity (although we use the language), we are about social justice (although we have no strategy to get it). There are two problems with this: the first comes from the suggestion that more aid is the answer; the second arises from the lack of political strategy.
