Winner of "Dream Reborn" Song Contest, "Ima Push" is about Resilience
"The
song is about when you're down to that last piece of energy you've got,
and you reach deep inside and decide to keep going hard," Gallo
explained.
"Every day, more Americans are having to dig deep and find the strength to keep going," said Green For All CEO Phaedra Ellis-Lamkins.
"It's not just disaster survivors. It's the folks feeling squeezed by
shrinking paychecks, scarce jobs, health problems, and poverty. While
President Obama recognizes the urgency of combating climate change, some
still want to pretend it isn't real. We are going to have to fight
harder for a healthy planet and a clean energy economy. We have to
push."

For All works to promote community resilience by expanding investment
in green infrastructure, which minimizes flood and storm damages and,
creates jobs. By promoting wind, solar, and energy efficiency, the
organization fights climate change and protects vulnerable communities
from pollution-related health problems like asthma.
ABOUT THE ARTIST: Gordon "Gallo" Nance is a producer and songwriter from Pocono, Pennsylvania.
As a father, he knows firsthand what it's like to struggle to support a
family in this economy. And as someone who suffers from asthma, he
understands the importance of protecting clean air.
The song "Ima Push,"
and his new album stems from what he calls PEM—Positive Energy
Movement. "It's a way of living, it's about being positive, no matter
what's going on, even if the situation looks crazy, if it seems real
negative, you feel like there is no way out. It's about staying positive
throughout all that. It's a mentality," Gallo explains. WATCH the interview with Gallo to learn more.
