 Gracie Abrams, Aaron Dessner and Bon Iver are releasing a song to support Everytown, a non-profit that works to end gun violence.

In the emotional track titled “Sold Out,” Abrams sings in part: “The system works and we all stay terrified/ What are we doing here, think we got sold out/ Looks like another year without a way out.” The song is available on Bandcamp for $5.

“We made this song last year in the wake of a school shooting. We were reminded of it this week as our hearts were broken yet again. It’s a sad one to share during the holidays, but the world is hurting and we shouldn’t look away,” the three musicians said in a joint statement. “We are proud to support Everytown, an organization dedicated to ending gun violence in America. We are releasing this song to raise awareness of their mission of reducing gun violence. Please visit their website for more information on the unbelievable work they do. Sending so much love to you all.”

Dessner also shared Abrams’ Instagram post about the song in his Stories, and shared his appreciation for her. “thank you @gracieabrams for finding a way to express our profound collective grief and create action @everytown,” he wrote.

Grammy-nominated Abrams has not been shy about speaking out when it comes to issues close to her heart. After news broke of the Brown University and Bondi Beach shootings, and that Rob Reiner and wife Michele Reiner were found Dec. 15 murdered in their home, the singer shared a statement slamming Donald Trump‘s reaction to recent tragic incidents.

I am glad artists speak out because it is terrifying. Too bad money is a higher interest and it won't end anytime soon

This will definitely end gun violence

“Stop gun violence!” they said, not knowing their song would flop into oblivion

This is giving me that trope in movies and stuff when the characters go "we're gonna fix everything with the power of music and friendship"
