The youth who attended the Florida Baha’i summer school, with the help of superstar Andy Grammer, created an original song centered around this quote:
“Faith is the magnet which draws the confirmation of the Merciful One. Service is the magnet which attracts the heavenly strength.” – ‘Abdu’l-Baha
The challenge was to create the whole thing from start to finish in 25 minutes(!)

Get on it now and sing your heart out! Onemusician.org brings you Baha’i music on crack featuring guitar tabs and song sheets along with the lyrics. The website is new and live as of today, and while there seem to be some details to work out, it’s hot!
For instance, search for “Dawnbreaker Collective” and have all their lyrics brought right to your screen.
We encourage young musicians and artists to get in touch with those guys and help them bring more music to the website. Guitar tabs and song sheets are always of preference.

The following is an example of fantastic use of new media in bringing attention to a cause.
The March 18 Movement was born out of a tragedy. On this day in 2009, Omid Reza Mir Sayafi, Iranian blogger and journalist, died in Evin Prison in Tehran. The December before his death, he was sentenced to two and half years in prison for allegedly insulting religious leaders, and engaging in propaganda against the Islamic Republic of Iran. Omid Reza was the first blogger to die in prison and his death reveals that getting censored is far from the worst thing that can happen to a blogger.
The clip is a creation of the Mideast Youth Network.
Today marks the anniversary of the incarceration of the seven Baha’i leaders in Iran. Iran Press Watch has posted this video:
