Vocal Uprising
We're building a repertoire of chants, call-and-response songs, and simple sing-alongs—designed to get everyone singing together. Why? Because when we sing together, we feel stronger, braver, and more inspired to act. Singing was a driving force behind the success of the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s, and we carry that legacy forward.
​
Whether leading chants at rallies or sparking spontaneous song in public spaces, we uplift spirits, strengthen community bonds, and ignite hope—because when we sing together, we rise together. 1
​
While rehearsals have begun, there will not be a regular rehearsal time set until fall of 2025. All are welcome to drop in as you can.
In Harsh Times
​I know, music alone
will not save us. But tonight
when my daughter played
the song we both love,
we smiled at each other,
all giddy and warm,
and some shriveled
part of me revived.
It was like those seeds
in the desert that wait years
to germinate—all they need
is one good rain.
That’s what a song can do.
Remind us our hope
is merely dormant, not dead.
Who could blame me, then,
for wanting to bring a song
to the whole thirsty world,
a song that soaks into
our parched hearts,
stunning us with just how fast
even the harshest world
can transform.
