“If we laugh and sing a little as we fight the good fight of freedom, it makes it all go easier. I will not allow my life's light to be determined by the darkness around me.” ― Sojourner Truth

There are living songs for these times and they need us as much as we need them.
Songs to hold us together in love and courage. Songs to hold us in our collective power. Songs to keep us grounded in what is true. Songs that affirm our commitments to life, love, earth, and justice. Songs the singing of which brings us joy!
Some of these songs are old and strong, having been anointed through their service in other times and movements. Others are being created here and now in response to what we are seeing and feeling in our hearts on behalf of our communities, nations, lands.
Come make friends with the songs and with others who are singing them. Then take the songs home and share them with your people.
Let’s use our voices and bodies to find one another and to raise up some power and beauty! Come join us! We will sing, walk, rest, and sing again.
‘A song can hold you up when there’s no ground beneath you.’ Melanie DeMore
