In the true spirit of our founder, Pete Seeger, Clearwater's Power of Song youth and the Urban Farmer's League of Newburgh, NY carried forward the passion and energy from the America's Great Outdoors Initiative listening sessions held this past August to create a music video. The youth worked together to create new verses to Woody Guthrie's "This Land is Your Land," to voice their policy recommendations to President Obama.
