On this day in 1987, #TheCure released "Just Like Heaven" as the third single from their seventh studio album, "Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me"

#RobertSmith said he considers "Just Like Heaven" to be one of the band's strongest works, and called it "the best pop song the Cure have ever done".

TODAY WE MOBILIZED OVER 3 MILLION PEOPLE ACROSS THE NATION!!!

This movement has entered the next chapter: the people will mobilize again, and again, until we make a difference.

It only takes 3.5% of the population in a sustained resistance in order to make a difference.
