During this past Monday’s (April 4) concert to raise funds for refugees from Ukraine in Agoura Hills, California, Dee Snider performed acoustic version of Twisted Sister classic “We’re Not Gonna Take It.”
All proceeds from the “Concert For Ukraine”, which was organized by independent promoter Ken Greene, at the BL Dancehall And Saloon will go to the Children’s Emergency Fund, part of the nonprofit Save The Children. Donations will help provide Ukrainian children and families with food, water, shelter and other immediate needs. The nonprofit also supports families displaced by conflict elsewhere around the world.
In last February, Snider said that he “absolutely” approves of Ukrainians using the band’s song “We’re Not Gonna Take It” as their battle cry while they are fighting back against the Russian invasion.
“I absolutely approve of Ukrainians using ‘We’re Not Gonna Take It’ as their battlecry,” he then wrote on Twitter. “My grandfather was Ukrainian, before it was swallowed up by the USSR after WW2. This can’t happen to these people again! #F*CKRUSSIA.”
