Switchfoot’s third issue of their online magazine lowercase people features popular artists Mute Math and Mae, and a ‘global slice’ of Rwanda.

The popular rock band additionally announced the upcoming launch of their new album O! Gravity, set to release 26 December.

In the Justice section of lowercase people, Executive Director Summer Scott shares her firsthand accounts of strength and hope from behind the scenes of the genocide-stricken country.

Speaking about the Rwandans, Scott reflects: “If only we would see them in the same light; as a beautiful people who made me gravely aware of the things that matter most: humanity, equality, love, peace, humility. Thank you, Rwanda, for teaching me. I have so much more to learn.”

In other news, renowned worship leader Darlene Zschech has also completed a journey to Rwanda, called ‘100 days of Hope’, as part of her initiative Hope Rwanda.

lowercase people also features documentarians Bobby Bailey of Invisible Children and Jeremy Dean of Dare Not Walk Alone, as well as inventive artwork of graphic artist Bill Caywood and the introspective of columnist David dark, Chris Ahrens and journalist Won Kim.

Founded by Switchfoot, lowercase people is the collective effort of a community of thinkers, musicians, artists and writers. The initiative includes lowercasepeople.com, lowercase people Apparel, and the lowercase people Justice Fund whose purpose is to serve third world communities around the world in partnership with Geneva Global.

Switchfoot is a popular rock band that claims to be “Christian by faith, not by genre”.

Frontman Jon Foreman said: "We've always been very open and honest about where the songs are coming from. For us, these songs are for everyone. Calling us 'Christian rock' tends to be a box that closes some people out and excludes them. And that's not what we're trying to do. Music has always opened my mind — and that's what we want."
