Grammy Award-winning artist Serj Tankian is offering fans and activists a free download of his new song “Yes, It’s Genocide” in an effort to call attention to the cycle of genocide. The release is part of a broader campaign initiated by Serjical Strike Records, the Armenian National Committee of America, and the Armenian Youth Federation.

Anti-genocide activists are being asked to submit a 30-second-to-1-minute video clip explaining why it is vital for the President to speak honestly about the Armenian Genocide and take action to end the cycle of genocide.
