Come annunciato qualche giorno fa, la 1237° ora per la pace a Genova non è stata affatto silenziosa. Ieri, 22 febbraio 2026, i quattro cori diretti da Gianni Martini, i musicisti della scuola Musicline e una vera folla hanno cantato tutti insieme la canzone di Bruce Springsteen “Streets of Minneapolis”, per ricordare Alex Pretti e Renee Good assassinati dagli agenti dell’ICE ed esprimere sdegno per la repressione e solidarietà con le sue vittime. Di seguito il video girato sui gradini del Palazzo Ducale di Genova. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_Uu1zo0Wkk Redazione Italia

Mercoledì 11 febbraio 2026 alle 18 Gradini del Palazzo Ducale, Genova La gente di Minneapolis ha inventato molti modi per reagire alle retate dell’ICE, la brutale milizia di Trump: manifestazioni, fischietti, foto, aiuto ai migranti braccati. Bruce Springsteen ha scritto a tempo record STREETS OF MINNEAPOLIS, una ballata che non le manda a dire a “The King” e solidarizza con le sue vittime. E noi? I quattro cori diretti da Gianni Martini scendono in piazza ancora una volta con i pacifisti e le pacifiste dell’Ora in silenzio per la pace. Quindi la 1237° ora sarà tutt’altro che silenziosa. Invitiamo tutte le persone che vogliono esprimere il proprio sdegno per la repressione, ricordare Alex Pretti e Renee Good e solidarizzare con tutte le vittime a cantare in coro STREETS OF MINNEAPOLIS. Dirige Gianni Martini, suonano i musicisti della scuola Musicline, cantano i quattro cori…. e si unisce chiunque lo desideri. Musicista o non musicista, stonata o intonata… Testo di Streets of Minneapolis Through the winter’s ice and cold Down Nicollet Avenue A city aflame fought fire and ice ‘Neath an occupier’s boots King Trump’s private army from the DHS Guns belted to their coats Came to Minneapolis to enforce the law Or so their story goes Against smoke and rubber bullets In the dawn’s early light Citizens stood for justice Their voices ringing through the night And there were bloody footprints Where mercy should have stood And two dead, left to die on snow-filled streets Alex Pretti and Renee Good Oh, our Minneapolis, I hear your voice Singing through the bloody mist We’ll take our stand for this land And the stranger in our midst Here in our home, they killed and roamed In the winter of ’26 We’ll remember the names of those who died On the streets of Minneapolis Trump’s federal thugs beat up on His face and his chest Then we heard the gunshots And Alex Pretti lay in the snow dead Their claim was self-defense, sir Just don’t believe your eyes It’s our blood and bones And these whistles and phones Against Miller and Noem’s dirty lies Oh, our Minneapolis, I hear your voice Crying through the bloody mist We’ll remember the names of those who died On the streets of Minneapolis Now they say they’re here to uphold the law But they trample on our rights If your skin is black or brown, my friend You can be questioned or deported on sight In our chants of “ICE out now” Our city’s heart and soul persists Through broken glass and bloody tears On the streets of Minneapolis Oh, our Minneapolis, I hear your voice Singing through the bloody mist Here in our home, they killed and roamed In the winter of ’26 We’ll take our stand for this land And the stranger in our midst We’ll remember the names of those who died On the streets of Minneapolis We’ll remember the names of those who died On the streets of Minneapolis ICE out ICE out ICE out ICE out ICE out ICE out Redazione Italia
