Mali Wilson to release 'No More Silence' for Spill the Honey movement

Mali Wilson will release “No More Silence” worldwide July 17 as the musical centerpiece of Spill the Honey’s effort to fight antisemitism and racism through arts education and campus programming. The song is designed to connect Black Jewish unity, classroom dialogue and university engagement with a call to reject hatred and speak out against injustice.

Why it matters: - “No More Silence” expands Spill the Honey’s message beyond film and classroom work into music that can reach campuses, communities and streaming audiences. - The release is meant to support education around antisemitism, racism and coalition building at a time when universities are being pushed to address division and hate. - The song gives student groups and campus leaders another entry point for discussions about shared history, empathy and civic action.

What happened: - Grammy-nominated producer, songwriter and recording artist Mali Wilson will release “No More Silence” worldwide on July 17. - Wilson created the song with Dr. Shari Rogers, Spill the Honey and EarthAngel Worldwide. - The track is the musical centerpiece of the Spill the Honey Movement. - The song calls on people of every background to reject hatred, speak out against injustice and choose empathy, unity and shared humanity. - The release follows Wilson’s work on Shared Legacies: The African American Jewish Civil Rights Alliance, the award-winning documentary that helped inspire the song.

The details: - Wilson wrote the song with Craig J. Snider, Eric D. Wilson and Dr. Rogers. - The project grew out of Wilson’s collaboration on the documentary score for Shared Legacies with the StoneWood Studios creative team. - Rogers asked Wilson to create an original song that could carry the film’s message into classrooms, campuses and communities. - Wilson has performed the anthem for more than three years at community gatherings, educational programs and public events. - Those performances included Central Park in New York City, Morehouse College, the Billie Holiday Theatre and Juneteenth celebrations. - Audience demand for a streaming release helped drive the July 17 launch. - Wilson said music can bring people together across cultures and generations and hopes the song encourages understanding over division. - Spill the Honey was founded by Dr. Shari Rogers to use arts and education to confront antisemitism and racism and rebuild the historic coalition between African American and Jewish communities. - The organization’s work includes Shared Legacies screenings, standards-aligned curriculum, educator training, community workshops and hip hop-based educational programming. - Dr. Rogers said she and Dr. Clarence B. Jones raised their voices together to help rebuild the coalition between African Americans and Jews and to encourage other communities to join the fight against persecution and oppression. - The song will be available on all major digital streaming platforms beginning July 17. - More information is available at Spill the Honey. - Campus resources are available at the campus guide.

Between the lines: - Spill the Honey is treating music as an access point, not just an art form, to make historical lessons easier to bring into classrooms and student life. - The campus strategy reflects a belief that college students are at a formative stage for building civic identity and coalition habits. - Wilson’s choice to release the song independently signals that the track is tied closely to educational and community goals, not just a commercial rollout. - The partnership with EarthAngel Worldwide connects the project to broader nonprofit work that includes youth development, environmental stewardship, artist mentorship and pollinator education.

What’s next: - Spill the Honey plans to use campus screenings, live or virtual performances, artist conversations and curriculum-based discussions to extend the song’s reach. - Universities can incorporate Shared Legacies and related programs into first-year experiences, orientation, student leadership initiatives and campuswide events. - The organization expects the song to help students explore coalition building, social justice and the responsibility to speak up when others are targeted. - “No More Silence” arrives alongside Wilson’s debut full-length album, Retro In Real Time, which was released recently.

The bottom line: - Spill the Honey is betting that a song can do what lectures alone often cannot: make the case for Black Jewish solidarity in a way students and communities can feel, repeat and act on.
