Jalisa Saud, RN and NYSNA young nurse leader, (back row, second from right) joined Tom Morello and other Rock and Roll luminaries, as he delivered a message of solidarity and peace to concertgoers during the “Imagine: John Lennon 75th Birthday Concert,” at Madison Square Garden on December 5.

While not working as a release time rep in the NYCH+H system, Ms. Saud is a member of the New York Freedom Choir, which includes singers from nine different activist organizations. The choir joined Morello on stage for a performance of Lennon’s iconic “Power to the People.” The night’s all-star list of performers included Yoko Ono, Steven Tyler, Willie Nelson, John Fogerty, Sheryl Crow, among many others, who all performed songs written by John Lennon. The concert was broadcast on AMC on December 19.

The evening concluded with the full house joining together to sing Lennon’s “Love is all you need.”
