GloRilla recently expressed appreciation for U.S. Representative Ayanna Pressley after she referenced her song “TGIF” to shed light on the pressing issue of climate change. During a House Committee on Oversight and Accountability hearing on July 10, Congresswoman Pressley utilized lyrics from “TGIF” to emphasize how rising temperatures are adversely affecting low-income communities, particularly in urban areas. She cleverly quoted the song’s opening line, “It’s 7 p.m. Friday, 95 degrees,” to drive home the point that climate change is a current and urgent concern that impacts the youth directly.
Following Pressley’s powerful speech, GloRilla took to social media to show support by sharing the clip and adding a caption that read, “Ayyyyeeeeee.” This gesture highlights the importance of raising awareness about climate change and the impact it has on marginalized communities. It’s crucial for influential figures like Pressley to use their platform to advocate for meaningful change and address pressing issues like climate change. Through collaboration and amplifying each other’s voices, we can work towards a more sustainable and equitable future for all.
