Salt of the Earth: The Video

SALT OF THE EARTH

by The Hard Working People Project

The Hard Working People Project was produced by Sara Hickman to bring awareness to the fact so many of us are working tirelessly and courageously during this time of covid. From mail carriers, nurses, doctors, grocery store employees, mom & pop shop owners, garbage collectors, non-profits, protestors, teachers, neighbors… you. Sara & The Hard Working People Project wanted to say we see you, we hear you, we love you, we are you. We are all in this scary time together and music can bring us hope, healing and love.

Share and dedicate to a hard working person in your life.
Proceeds from the digital audio track download benefit a number of non-profits. Learn more about their work at necessaryangels.com

THIS SONG IS DEDICATED TO

All the hard working people around the world. We all deserve to be heard, to receive a living wage, to have a home of our own. Everyone deserves a safe, healthy and war free environment with intelligent, compassionate leaders who, truly, care about our freedoms (and don’t waste our time, money or emotional energy.) We have the right to create the peaceful, inclusive and joyful world we want to share. Love, Sara
