THE POWER OF SINGING TOGETHER

We believe singing together can help create a powerful unifying culmination of the months of organizing, the gathering, marching and mural painting together and the movement building to come. This action and the preparation leading up to is an amazing opportunity to infuse poignant beautiful music into the movement for climate justice. We will teach songs that organizers across the country and the world can use to ground their people in purpose, inspire their communities to take urgently needed direct action and even awaken a deep cultural understanding about the new world being born. — something like that, or just: People who participate will learn new songs to strengthen local movements across the country and the world.
