Fighting for human rights for over 30 years has made ActionAid a leader in standing up against global struggles. Thanks to their latest effort—The 6 Degrees Project supports women’s rights by forming world-wide connections between women of all creeds, to stop discrimination, violence and poverty. And the idea that we’re all just six degrees apart can really make a difference.

The 6 Degrees Project kicks off with a free download of Chaka Khan’s trademark song “I’m Every Woman” put together by a group of amazing female artists including Róisín Murphy, producer Amanda Ghost, Alessi’s Ark, thecockandbullkid, Micachu, and Sinead O’Connor.

Just click HERE to learn more about the 6 Degrees Project and to download your own free copy of the song. It’s a fantastic reminder that we’re all in this crazy, often turned-upside-down, thing together. . .

By supporting the campaign, Bat for Lashes will kindly thank you for your efforts too, with a free download featuring her live performance of “Glass” off her latest album Two Suns. So what are you waiting for? Get over to ActionAid’s website and support the women of the world!

West London’s Alessi’s Ark is charming, sweet and imaginative in her sound and lyrics. I love the light, airy feel to her style. Her debut album Notes From The Treehouse is like a soundtrack to a dreamy walk through prairie grass pastures and summer picnics full of sweet cream and strawberries. It’s unbelievable that such soul can come from such a young artist. Look for her debut to drop May 4th, and stay tuned here for free downloads before then!
