Climate Movement Asks: How Can We Sleep While Our Beds Are Burning?

fordlyn
Midnight Oil's "Beds are Burning" resounded across the airwaves in the late 1980s as a global call to conscience — "The time has come to say fair's fair, to pay the rent, to pay our share."

The song's powerful refrain — "How can we sleep while our beds are burning?" — is just as relevant today, and it's back, sung by dozens of world-famous musicians as the new anthem of a climate justice movement.
