Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say “Send me” wherever we have a chance to make an impact. How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.

Yours Eternally sees Bono and The Edge joined on vocals by Ukrainian musician-turned-soldier Taras Topolia, as well as Ed Sheeran. In the spring of 2022, following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Bono and The Edge traveled to Kyiv to busk in a metro station at the invitation of President Zelensky. A couple of days prior to that, Ed connected @TarasTopolia, and by extension his band @antytila_offic, with Bono. Bono, Taras and The Edge met for the first time on that subway platform and have been friends ever since. Taras is the inspiration for ‘Yours Eternally’, a song written in the form of a letter from a soldier on active duty with a bold, mischievous spirit to match Ukraine’s. Tomorrow, on the 4th anniversary of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, a 4 1/2-minute film documenting the lives of Ukrainian soldiers on the frontlines that uses Yours Eternally as a soundtrack will be released.

One Life At A Time is written for Awdah Hathaleen, a Palestinian father of three, nonviolent activist and English teacher, who was shot and killed in his village in the West Bank by Israeli settler Yinon Levi on July 28th, 2025. Awdah was a consultant on the Oscar-winning documentary No Other Land, made by Palestinians and Israelis. At the time of his death, one of the directors, Basel Adra, spoke of the slaughter of his friend and the experience of Palestinians being erased “one life at a time.” U2 took that line and turned it around to suggest that a peaceful resolution will be wrought, one life at a time.  Days of Ash EP available now.

Song of the Future honors the schoolgirl uprising in Iran and the life of 16-year-old Sarina Esmailzadeh, one of thousands of Iranian schoolgirls who took to the streets as part of the Woman, Life, Freedom movement in 2022. These protests were sparked by the death of Jina Mahsa Amini, a young Kurdish-Iranian woman who died in Tehran on 16th September that year from injuries sustained following her arrest by the so-called ‘morality police’ for not wearing a hijab in accordance with government standards. Seven days later, Sarina was beaten by the Iranian security forces and died from her injuries, the regime claiming she killed herself. The song aims to capture Sarina’s free spirit, the promise and hope of her short life. Days of Ash EP available now. Read Propaganda here: u2.komi.io/

American Obituary speaks to the shocking event the world witnessed in Minneapolis, Minnesota on January 7th, 2026 where Renée Nicole Macklin Good, a peaceful protestor, was shot and killed at almost point-blank range by ICE, an arm of her own government. This unarmed mother of three was then described as a “domestic terrorist” by an administration who will not withdraw the description even though they know it’s not true or mount a proper enquiry into what happened for the sake of everyone involved.
