Music is one of our most effective tools for rebuilding solidarity and common purpose. 

Join other musicians to write songs and renew old ones, build a repertory to take back to the streets to help renew the spirit of the people. Come with your voices and your instruments, and with your ideas. We build this music together.

In each workshop we will start by singing and playing together, then we’ll work on strategies to bring music to events, both large and small, get to know one another and begin to create a network of musicians who can call on one another to form ensembles and musical groups and share repertory. We will end, as we begin, with music.

The first workship will focus on protest music generally. In the second and third workshops we will look at introducing harmony, percussion and instruments. In all three workshops will will be working on ways to bring a richer musical presence to events, and at the same time developing ways to increase general participation. 

We hope to build a network of musicians who want to bring music to the movement, to share strategies and techniques for protesting and acting to stop the destruction of our country and to build an online library of protest music — notated with lyrics and chords — in useful formats.
