Come join a celebration of song that decries injustice. Raise your voice in defiance, sorrow, and hope. Can songs change the world? Music is a catalyst, embodying our collective spirit—a cry, a shout for transformation. We Shall Overcome, sadly, is still aspirational; It’s Better with a Union Man winks at the importance of labor unions; Keep Marchin’ tells of the continuing (never-ending?) struggle for women’s rights. Bring a friend, bring your voice, bring a handkerchief to catch the tears of sorrow or joy.
